THE Antoine Griezmann was his opponent Lionel Messi for many years when he was playing for Atlético Madrid, but fate brought them to be teammates in Barcelona. The period of time they shared the dressing room may not have been the best, with just one cup win and the club having to deal with many off-field issues, but whenever the Frenchman talks about pulga he deifies him!
In fact, the striker of the “Rojiblancos” in a question he received about the Golden Ball and who of Messi or Haaland must conquer it he was categorical. In particular, he “voted” for the Argentine world champion, stating that he was and is the best player on the planet, while adding that the world should not confuse a scorer with a great player.
“The best football player in the world was and is Messi. Please don’t confuse a goalscorer with a great player“, pointed out, characteristically, the Griezmann for the 37-year-old superstar, who is close to winning the eighth Ballon d’Or in his legendary career.
??? “Who should win the Ballon d’Or? Messi or Haaland?”
