Antoine has proven to be an exceptional person, offering his support to racially abused Ansu Fati and standing up against the discrimination of the Uighur minority.


Antoine Griezmann has been criticised since joining Barcelona but his actions off the pitch surely deserve more credit.

Here are 5 impressive things the Frenchman has already done:

Huawei divorce: Griezmann has parted ways with his long-time sponsor due to the Chinese company’s alleged involvement in the persecution of the Uighur community in the country.
Stands up against racism: Antoine publicly denounced ABC reporter Salvador Sostres who compared Ansu to young street vendors fleeing the police.
Always there for youngsters: The 29-year-old also vividly celebrated Ousmane Dembele’s long-awaited goal and offered support to seriously injured Ansu Fati.
Doesn’t hold grudges: “If you want to play me you play me. If not then no problem” – that’s what Griezmann told Quique Setien after his infamous 2-minute cameo against Atletico Madrid last season.
Proud daddy: Antoine celebrated his Osasuna goal with a special gesture to his daughter Mia just some days after Toni Kroos blasted the Frenchman for his ‘silly dances’.

HARARE, ZIMBABWE - AUGUST 01: Wheat is sprayed with fertilizer at Ivordale Farm on August 1, 2018 outside Harare, Zimbabwe. Commercial farmer Andrew Pascoe runs the 330-hectare farm east of Harare. His father started the business in the 1950’s. The farm grows wheat mostly, maize and Soya Beans, with a dairy herd of 170 cows, a further 280 for beef, plus a piggery with 1200 animals. Before the land reform ‘initiative’, Mr Pascoe owned 1725 Hectares but was left with only 224, only 60 of which that was arable. He currently runs the 60 hectares of his own land, with the rest falling under a ‘joint venture’ program.. In 2000 the then President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, ran a land reform program that aimed to redistribute the farm land mostly owned by white Zimbabweans, to black subsistence farmers. The policy was seen as a disaster, with around 4000 white farmers forcibly removed from their farms, often violently. The policy crippled the agricultural sector and subsequently contributed to the collapse of the economy as those that took over the land lacked the knowledge to run the businesses.
