“In 2018, I don’t want to say that Modric didn’t deserve it, but Antoine, with the season he had, having the world title at the end, he could have. Well, that wasn’t the case, but that doesn’t stop him from sleeping well and living it well. It happens. He is not underrated, but perhaps he lacks recognition for everything he does…”, said Didier Deschamps during the international break about Antoine Griezmann. It must be said that in 2018, the French striker had an XXL season which could (or even should) have been awarded the Ballon d’Or. And he knows it very well.
In a video for the YouTube channel “Futbol Emotion”, the Atlético de Madrid center forward answers several questions from Internet users. He is notably questioned about the 2018 Ballon d’Or, won by Luka Modric. “Do you think you deserved the Ballon d’Or?”, “Yes”, he retorts, smiling, before moving on to something else. Antoine Griezmann doesn’t really have time to ruminate and is undoubtedly focused on the Colchoneros’ season, they who have a shot to play in La Liga to finally win the championship. What the native of Mâcon has still not realized.
