Atletico Madrid captain Koke Resurreccion believes Antoine Griezmann does not get the credit he deserves on the international stage, referring to his recent Ballon d’Or ranking.
The Frenchman placed 21st in the rankings, while Lionel Messi once again won the trophy. This place surprised regular observers of Atlético and France. During the World Cup he competed for the title of best player in blue with Kylian Mbappé, and in 2023 Griezmann was the best player in the team that won the most points in Spain.
Koke told Diario AS that he saw no other reason for this discrimination than the team for which the Frenchman plays at club.
“ I believe Griezmann is not higher because he plays for Atleti. He has all the marketing, with France he played in two World Cup finals, he won one and was close to another; he almost won a European Championship, last year he was the best in La Liga and was the best this year… It’s not me who votes but it’s true that if he played for another team, he would have this recognition. »
Griezmann has been in great form since the start of the season and forms, with Alvaro Morata, the most dangerous attacking duo in Spain and one of the most dangerous in Europe.
