Griezmann: I don’t care about the Ballon d'Or, only the World Cup!

The forward has three goals for the tournament, but while he feels he might have scored more, team success has been worth the sacrifice

Antoine Griezmann has said that he is ready to set aside personal ambition as he aims to lead France to World Cup glory on Sunday.

The Atletico Madrid forward has scored three times for Les Bleus and set up two more as they have made their way to Sunday’s final in Moscow against Croatia.

Knockout ties against Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium were successfully negotiated by Didier Deschamps’ side, who have not necessarily played enthralling football but who have shown themselves to be an effective tournament side.
