French · Mâcon, France · Born 21 March 1991French forward who won the 2018 World Cup and finished third in the 2018 Ballon d'Or, known for his versatility and technical ability in attack.
Antoine Griezmann was born in Mâcon, France in 1991. Real Sociedad developed him after he was released by several French clubs for being too small. His five Atlético Madrid seasons produced two Europa League titles and consecutive Champions League Finals — losing to Real Madrid both times (2016 and his greatest escape 2016 before penalties). He won Euro 2016 Golden Boot as player of the tournament despite France losing the final. He won the World Cup with France in 2018 — scoring four goals including the crucial second goal in the final against Croatia. He was awarded UEFA Nations League success with France in 2021. He is France's second-highest all-time goalscorer. His combination of technical precision, off-the-ball movement and composure in major tournaments has made him the most consistent performer for France across three major tournaments. He scored the most goals in Europa League history (11) in a single campaign. His return to Atlético Madrid in 2021 — after a failed Barcelona spell — produced some of his finest individual club performances.
