Antoine Griezmann was caught on camera mocking Alexis Sanchez after Inter Milan crashed out of the Champions League.

Serie A leaders Inter Milan were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties after Atletico Madrid overturned a first-leg deficit at home.

Simone Inzaghi’s side travelled to the Wanda Metropolitano with a 1-0 lead thanks to Marko Arnautovic’s goal at the San Siro.

Inter are 16 points clear at the top of the Italian league and have only suffered one defeat all season but Diego Simeone’s side overturned their advantage thanks to goals from Griezmann and Memphis Depay.

The game ended all square after extra-time meaning penalties would decide who progressed into the quarter-finals, with Inter missing twice from the spot to crash out.

Sanchez missed Inter’s second spot kick of the shoot-out with Davy Klassen and Lautaro Martinez also failing to find the back of the net.

Footage has since emerged of Griezmann reacting to Sanchez’s miss from the sidelines and he aimed an x-rated remark at the former Arsenal forward according to Movistar.

Griezmann was substituted deep into extra-time and was pictured turning to teammate Rodrigo de Paul to mock Sanchez’s failed attempt.

He reportedly said: “He [Sanchez] is s***, the Chilean is s***!”


The former Barcelona striker moved joint-top of the Champions League scoring charts alongside Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland on six after suffering an injury in the first-leg of the tie.

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak made two saves in the shoot-out and admitted luck is always a big factor. He said after the game: “In the end it's a bit about luck in the shootout. 'Because you have to choose the correct side and you have to make the stop. If the player takes the kick perfectly, it's impossible to stop it.

“Luckily, I was able to make the saves. What matters is the victory and that we made it to the quarter-finals.”
