Who is this?
Antoine Griezmann (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃twan ɡʁijɛzman]; born 21 March 1991) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward or attacking midfielder for La Liga club Atlético Madrid. Considered one of the best players of his generation, he is primarily known for his versatility, game intelligence, attacking output, and off-ball attributes. He will formally join Major League Soccer club Orlando City in July 2026. Griezmann began his senior club career with Spanish side Real Sociedad in 2009, where he had previously been a youth graduate, and won the Segunda División in his first season. In 2014, he joined Atlético Madrid for a then-club record €30 million. In his second season, he was awarded La Liga Best Player and was integral to Atlético reaching the UEFA Champions League final, eventually finishing in third place for both the Ballon d'Or and Best FIFA Men's Player. Two years later, he won the UEFA Europa League and was named the competition's Player of the Season. In 2019, after several years of speculation, he departed Atlético for Barcelona in a transfer worth €120 million, making him one of the most expensive players of all time. Despite winning his first major domestic title, the Copa del Rey in 2021, Griezmann experienced a decline in form. Ahead of 2021–2022, he returned to Atlético and became the club's all-time top goalscorer in early 2024. Griezmann won the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship with France and made his senior debut in 2014. He went on to earn 137 caps and score 44 goals, ranking as France's third-most capped player and fourth-highest goalscorer as well as the leading assist provider. Griezmann was the top goalscorer and named Player of the Tournament as hosts France finished runners-up at UEFA Euro 2016. He then won the Silver Boot, the Bronze Ball, and was named man of the match in the final as France won the 2018 FIFA World Cup. At the 2022 World Cup, Griezmann played as an attacking midfielder as France finished runners-up. He retired from international football in 2024.
