It was such an impressive and violent intervention that blew the whole Stade de France and the viewers of this France-Greece (1-0) Monday evening. We play the 49th minute of this Euro 2024 qualifying match, and Théo Hernandez sends a long center for Antoine Griezmann. But the latter cannot play the ball, due to a kick inflicted in the head by the opposing defender, Konstantinos Mavropanos.
A karateka gesture that sounded the player of Atlético de Madrid, forced the staff of the Blues to bandage his head and offered the penalty for victory, converted on his second attempt by Kylian Mbappé. But which, surprisingly, only earned its author a yellow card despite watching the action by Var.
This leniency towards the Greek no doubt prompted the wife of the 2018 world champion, Erika Choperena, to post two photos of the damage from the kick on Instagram on Wednesday. On this post from the mother of Griezmann’s three children, we can see the stitch next to the left ear of the ex-Barça player. Another snap shows the red marks running down her husband’s arm, a selfie showing an angry head in support.

“There are times when you don’t see it, times when you don’t want to see it and times when you see what doesn’t exist,” the Spaniard then wrote in her story. A probable reference to referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz, long frequented by Griezmann in La Liga and who retired Monday evening on this France-Greece.
“We end the season on this, and now we’re going on vacation,” concludes Erika Choperena. Antoine Griezmann is coming out of an intense season, between the World Cup in Qatar with the Blues but also a full exercise with Atlético where he played 38 league games, scoring 15 goals and distributing 17 assists.
