Madridthe Madrid "Atletico" star Antoine Griezmann is convinced that Turin" Juventus will triumph in the UEFA Champions League this season, and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon will receive the "Golden Ball".
"Atletico" had a great opportunity to meet "Juventus" in the Champions League final, but fell in the semifinals against Madrid's "Real" club. The "White and Reds" will try to win the Old Continent tournament for the second time in a row on June 3, but the French national team sniper has a different opinion.
"Juventus" will win the Champions League, and Gianluigi Buffon will receive the "Golden Ball", - responded A. Griezmann when asked by Spanish radio.
"Finals are much more difficult than semifinals both physically and emotionally. Before the final, you are full of motivation, believing that the title will be yours, but when you lose, accepting it is very difficult", added A. Griezmann, who lost both the Champions League and the European Championship finals last season.
"Atletico" did not fight for any title this season, and remained only in the third position in the Spanish championship. A. Griezmann feels disappointed because of it, but he does not give up.
"We did not win the titles we wanted so much. We are satisfied with the result in the Spanish championship - we had set a goal to stay in the third position and we did it. It hurts a lot because of the Champions League semifinal", - concluded the Frenchman.
