Antoine Griezmann defends Ansu Fati from racist article
Diario ABC used a very ugly comparison when speaking about the Barcelona starlet
"Ansu when running has something of the gazelle, of the young and black street seller you see running up Passeig de Gracia when someone shouts 'water, water,', announcing that the police have arrived. The mark of the jungle in the heart of the city. That doesn't happen now because for Ada Colau (the mayor of Barcelona) the delinquents are the police and not the street sellers, who no longer have to go running. It's true that without tourists their business is suffering."
That ugly comment was written in the match report of Barcelona vs Ferencvaros by a writer for Diario ABC.
It was exposed on social media and Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann came out to defend his team-mate from the hideous comment.
"Ansu is an exceptional boy and he deserves respect like any human being. No to racism and to bad manners," wrote Griezmann on Twitter.
SPORT have learned that Barcelona are studying legal action they could take against the writer, Salvador Sostres.
Ansu es un chico excepcional que merece respeto como cualquier ser humano. No al racismo y no a la mala educación. pic.twitter.com/LZuJOzoTMG
