On fire again this season with 7 goals in 11 La Liga days, Antoine Griezmann is aging like good wine. Able to reinvent himself in the midfield, without having lost his offensive effectiveness, the Atlético de Madrid playmaker has completely put aside his more difficult time at FC Barcelona. Still performing as well with the France team, the best player of Euro 2016 hopes this time to lift the trophy, in Germany, in 2024. To finally be recognized for his true value.
And justly. On TéléfootDidier Deschamps had strong words regarding his “darling”, who should have won the Ballon d’Or in 2018 according to him. “The rankings don’t mean anything but, at the last Ballon d’Or… well… He could have been crowned Ballon d’Or in 2018, with the season he had and the title. He would have deserved it too. I think that in all sincerity, he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.”, says the Blues coach. Words that will please Antoine Griezmann, who faces Villarreal this Sunday evening at 9 p.m.
