Jorginho’s double-footed tackle on Antoine Griezmann has left the Frenchman in pain.
Antoine Griezmann made his Barcelona debut while taking on Chelsea in a friendly game, but it did not go up to the plan in the first half. The Frenchman was forced to receive treatment in the sidelines, courtesy to double-footed tackle from Jorginho.
When both the players were running for a 50-50 challenge, Chelsea midfielder laid his foot on his opponent. This altered the doctors who ran to the pitch assisting the new signing.
Even though Griezmann was the favourite to win the battle, Jorginho was not prepared to relax for a second. While going for the ball, the Italian left his foot on Griezmann’s legs. This interrupted the game before doctors consulted him.
