Antoine Griezmann is a France forward of intelligence and generosity, a player who thrives in the space between midfield and attack, linking play as readily as he scores. His movement, work-rate and dead-ball ability have made him one of the defining attackers of his generation.
After emerging at Real Sociedad, he became a talisman at Atlético Madrid, driving the club to European finals and domestic honours with his goals and tireless effort. A spell at Barcelona bookended two productive periods in the Spanish capital.
With France he has been decisive on the grandest stage, contributing goals and assists on the way to World Cup glory. Understated and hard-working, Griezmann is admired as a footballer who elevates those around him.
