Griezmann shows off shock new GREEN hair with pink love heart in Atletico Madrid’s defeat amid Man Utd transfer links
ANTOINE GRIEZMANN showed off daring green hair as Atletico Madrid fell to a 2-0 defeat to Villarreal.
The Frenchman - looking like The Joker - was again named as a substitute as boss Diego Simeone opted to start with Alvaro Morata and Joao Felix up front.
When he warmed up before the game, fans got a glimpse of his colourful new barnet.
Never one to shy away from making a splash with his trim, Griezmann's haircut also included a pink love heart.
The 31-year-old was called upon in the second half, but was powerless to prevent his side from falling to defeat.
Starlet Yeremy Pino struck Villarreal into a 73rd minute lead, before Gerard Moreno sealed the win with a goal deep in stoppage time after Nahuel Molina's red card.

Griezmann had been given half an hour from the bench during Atletico's opener at Getafe last Monday, scoring in the 3-0 win.
The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from the Wanda Metropolitano before the end of the transfer window.
Reports in Spain recently suggested that he would be available in a potential swap deal with Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo.
But Atletico fans have rallied against the potential switch, protesting the possible arrival of CR7.

It was also mooted that Morata could be included in a deal.
The former Chelsea striker scored twice inn Atleti's LaLiga opener at Getafe.
United, meanwhile, have been linked with other forwards including Brentford ace Ivan Toney.
While they want to complete a £34m switch for PSV winger Cody Gakpo.
They had a bid turned down for Ajax ace Antony last week, with the Brazilian responding by refusing to train on Friday.
