The police attack on Michel, a black man who is a producer at Black Gold Studios, made headlines in France this Thursday. Barcelona players Antoine Griezmann and Samuel Umtiti and Sevilla centre-back Jules Koundé reacted to the attack.

Barcelona and French national team striker Antoine Griezmann reacted on Thursday to the police attack on a black music producer broadcast on social networks, saying, "I'm sorry, France".

Through Twitter, the player linked the video and quotes the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin.

Griezmann's reaction comes after his teammate and compatriot Samuel Umtiti, as well as Sevilla's youth international Jules Koundé, also posted it.

"The human being... is capable of inhuman things," Umtiti said, while Koundé attacked "that section of the police that exceeds its rights by beating, sometimes even killing".
