Lucas Hernandez has said claimed that there is belief in “90 per cent” of the footballing world that Antoine Griezmann is an equal to Lionel Messi of Barcelona and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo.
The debate over Griezmann’s quality has been fuelled by the player’s own declaration that he should be in the running for the Ballon d’Or this year , having missed out on a nomination for FIFA’s The Best prize.
Furthermore, the attacker, who helped France win the World Cup at Russia 2018, later said that he feels he is on a par with Messi and Ronaldo – the undisputed footballing greats of the 21st century.
