The Frenchman might have made the headlines for all the wrong reasons a few days ago, but it can’t be denied that he is one hell of a player. He might be suffering from form right now, but it could be attributed to the fact that he wanted to leave in the summer of this year and couldn’t due to Atletico Madrid’s ban from buying players.

Nevertheless, he showed his loyalty and stuck to the club because they couldn’t acquire a replacement.

But his summer wasn’t all that bad as he got married—in secret, I shall add—to his long-term girlfriend Erika Choperena in Toledo, Spain. The pair wanted little fuss about their special day and, as a result, didn’t announce the wedding beforehand.

Things only came to light when Griezmann shared a short video on his Instagram account of popping a champagne cork near a celebration pool. And it obviously took everyone by surprise.
