An Atletico Madrid and France team-mate of the World Cup-winning forward is hoping to see consistency over a prolonged period rewarded in 2018
Antoine Griezmann’s claims to the 2018 Ballon d’Or have been talked up by Atletico Madrid and France team-mate Lucas Hernandez.
A man who helped his club to Europa League glory last season before landing the ultimate prize at World Cup 2018 with his country is considered to be back in contention for football’s most prestigious personal prize.
Griezmann has pushed the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo close in the past, finishing third in the Golden Ball vote back in 2016.
