"In the 'Golden Ball' elections together with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann received his own award - he was chosen as the best French football player of 2016.
The 'France Football' publication, which last Monday announced Cristiano Ronaldo as the best football player of the year, yesterday presented A. Griezmann with the award for the best French football player of the year.
A. Griezmann bombarded opponents' goals last season in the ranks of Madrid's 'Atletico' and contributed the most to the French national team's journey to the final of the 2016 European Championship.
The 25-year-old footballer played 66 matches and scored 36 goals in 2016, both in the club and national team.
However, A. Griezmann is currently experiencing a sports crisis - he scored only nine goals in 21 matches, and almost all of them were scored in the later part of the season."
