#3 Free kick for France vs Netherlands
In a friendly fixture between Netherlands and France in March 2016 in memory of Johan Cruyff, who lost his battle with lung cancer, Griezmann curled this stunning free kick into the side netting of Jasper Cillessen’s goal in what was a perfect tribute to the beautiful football the legendary Dutchman epitomised.
While goals from Giroud and Blaise Matuidi would see France run out winners, this would be the foundation on which Griezmann would have a sensational Euro 2016. The 25-year-old ended up with the tournament’s second highest ever tally of six goals in addition to two assists.
