Antoine Griezmann, speaking to his country's media, stated that he did not expect to be left out of the FIFA Best Player trio, so he hopes that "this mistake" will be rectified in the Ballon d'Or awards.
This year, A. Griezmann had the most successful season - he won two trophies with Atletico and became a world champion with the French national team. The only thing stopping the forward in these awards is the fact that other players were more productive than him, and the trophies with Atletico are not the highest - triumph in the UEFA Europa League.
Nevertheless, A. Griezmann is convinced that justice will be restored in the Ballon d'Or awards.
"I deserve to be in the trio," - A. Griezmann commented on the Ballon d'Or awards, he had already been on this list in 2016 and was only behind Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. - "Back then I lost two finals, and now I won three. So..."
Soon the footballer expressed his opinion on the FIFA Best Player awards, where only three names remained - Mo Salah, Luka Modric, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"The trio is very strange, isn't it? As I understand, FIFA established these trophies, we won their main tournament, but there is not a single Frenchman on the list. It's their choice, but I was still surprised," - said the forward.
