Liga: Atlético de Madrid misses the opportunity to become leader

Invited by the streamer Ibai Llanos, Antoine Griezmann, author of 200 goals with the Colchoneros, delivered his top 5 of the greatest players in the history of football. The Frenchman from Atlético de Madrid, known for his admiration for icons of the past, cited David Beckham, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and placed Zinedine Zidane at the top of his list. A selection that reflects his sensitivity for elegant and creative players, but without Cristiano Ronaldo. This rather unusual top 5 quickly made fans react on social networks.

Furthermore, his teammate Juliån Álvarez, also present in the video, opted for a slightly different hierarchy. The Argentine striker placed Messi at the top, but completed his ranking with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo Nazario, Di Stéfano and Maradona. Despite his Argentinian side, the 25-year-old striker included CR7 in his top 5, but not Zinedine Zidane.
