Griezmann began his career at Real Sociedad, where he spent five seasons before transferring to Atlético for €30 million. He has been a French youth international, having represented his country at under-19, under-20 and under-21 level. In 2010, he was part of the team that won the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship on home soil. He made his debut for the senior national team in 2014 and played at that year’s World Cup. The 24 year-old will grace the cover wearing his Atlético Madrid’s team kit and will share the spotlight with global cover athlete, Lionel Messi. Last year, there wasn’t a special cover for France.
Griezmann was the most voted player winning other three popular players:
Raphaël Varane – Real Madrid (Spain)
Antoine Griezmann – Atlético Madrid (Spain)
Alexandre Lacazette – Olympique Lyonnais (France)
Blaise Matuidi – Paris Saint-Germain (France)
