In 2018, Antoine Griezmann, without any doubt, said that he is at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo as both of them face each other in the quarter-final match of Euro 2024 Sportsbuddy.ng reports.
This is according to the Atletico Madrid star, who is a regular member of the French national team, after the team was crowned world champions.
He has been an essential part of the team since then and has impacted the recent success of Les Bleus.
Comparing Careers
Cristiano Ronaldo’s reign is not as strong as before, in 2018 he clinched the fifth Champion League trophy and netted 44 times for Real Madrid. Griezmann, on the other hand won the Europa League in the same year and was keen to match up with the Portuguese star.
Both were finalists for the Ballon d’Or award, which was subsequently clinched by Ronaldo’s clubmate Luka Modric. Griezmann, a third-place finisher in 2016 and 2018, believed he was at the same level as the absolute best.
Recent Form And Recent Prospect
He told AS: “Personally, “I seek to be as complete as possible. I’m not going to score 50 goals, but I’m looking to help offensively and work for the team.
I think I already sit where Messi and Cristiano are. And I know other players are going to come for sure. I want to improve, I want to win and I want to continue like this, playing in this way.”
I consider myself to be the top footballer, but there is certainly some room for improvement. I strive to be as versatile as possible.

Antoine Griezmann has not been in the running for the Ballon d’Or. The last win of Ronaldo was back in 2017, and now, the starting position for Portugal is in doubt due to his ageing career.
In the Euro 2024 last 16 match against Slovenia, Portugal required penalties to win, and Cristiano Ronaldo failed to convert an extra-time penalty but netted a decisive penalty.
However, both Griezmann and France have been particularly disappointing in not being able to score from open play in their four matches.
