Ernesto Valverde warns Barcelona fans over Antoine Griezmann

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has warned on the Catalan giants’ fans to desist from whistling Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann on Saturday night.

The Frenchman rejected a move to the Catalan giants last summer in favour of penning a new long-term contract at Los Rojiblancos, and travels to the Camp Nou for the first time since that episode, reports Football Espana.

“I don’t want our fans to focus on opposition players with whistles, I want them to support our team,” Valverde told reporters, as cited by El Mundo Deportivo.

“I do not like it when players are whistled or abused at a match, supporters should be there to support their team and not anything else.
