'You’re a ***** liar!' - Gignac sends Twitter rant to reporter who made violence allegations

The Tigres forward says he'll leave Mexico if he has to because of the press after a Televisia journalist accused the Frenchman of striking him

Tigres forward Andre-Pierre Gignac has responded angrily to accusations made by Televisa Deportes journalist Yussif Caro that he struck the reporter after Sunday's Liga MX final, suggesting he would go as far as leaving Mexico if what he sees as mistreatment from the press continues.

A disappointed Gignac went to the locker room rather than receive his runner-up medal after Sunday's 2-1 (4-3 aggregate) loss to Chivas in the second leg.
