Atletico Madrid will appeal against 12,000 euro fine for Griezmann chants Atletico Madrid They disagree with the ruling

Atletico Madrid are planning to appeal against the decision made by Spanish Football Federation (RFEF)'s Competition Committee to impose them a 12,000 euro fine for their fans' offensive chants against Antoine Griezmann.

Part of the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano crowd received the Frenchman with cries calling for his death in the game against Barcelona back in December.

Los Rojiblancos are willing to convince the RFEF that they are doing what it takes to avoid similar situations with offensive attitudes, songs or insults against rivals.

Atletico will argue in their defence that they address the supporters during games, prompting them to support their team with respect to the opposition through videos displayed at the stadium.

In addition, they will point out that they carry out further measures including fingerprint access through the turnstiles to prevent such situations.
