At 32, Antoine Griezmann has one of the finest records in the history of French football with a World Cup, a Nations League, a European Super Cup, a Europa League and lost finals (World Cup 2022) Euro 2016, C1 2016). But when we ask Samir Nasri if the Atlético star is one of the five best players in the history of French football, the Marseillais does not deflate.

“Not in the top 5. Top 10. But for me, Zidane, Platini, Henry… There are others that I can put. Raymond Kopa, even if I haven’t seen him play. The fact that he won 1 Ballon d’Or, from the Champions League, is above all. Benzema, who has a Ballon d’Or, is above”he declared on Canal+.
