Antoine Griezmann was named the best French footballer playing abroad at the UNFP trophy ceremony on Monday evening. The winner was voted by Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 players. This is his second time winning the award, the first being in 2016.
Despite tough competition from players like Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, who won La Liga with Real Madrid and reached the Champions League final, as well as Mike Maignan (AC Milan) and William Saliba (Arsenal), Griezmann came out on top.
Fans reactions
Antisym: "One of my favourite ever players. Doesn't get half as much credit from the average fan as he should."
GreyDaze22: "Deserved who else but him. Saliba is the only other shout."
Evern35: "A player I was lucky enough to see live. His revival after Barcelona is going far too much under the radar."
erjiin: "He's awesome, the french NT is different when he's on the field, in case of emergency give the ball to Griezmann he'll know what to do."
The 33-year-old Atletico Madrid striker scored 13 goals in La Liga this season, helping his team secure a top-four finish. Additionally, he netted six goals in ten Champions League matches, although Atlético was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
