#4 Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid and France) - 33 goals and 18 assists (52 apps)

Griezmann is finding solitude in taking penalties and converting them. Not to mention the Fortnite L-celebration. He needs to be focused before facing Juventus next year.

Antoine Griezmann finished third in the Ballon d'Or 2018 race, ahead of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman also expressed his disappointment in not going on to actually win the award. Griezmann won the FIFA World Cup with France and the Europa League with Atletico Madrid in 2018.

He scored a total of four goals at the FIFA World Cup, three of them being penalties. In the 2018/19 season, he has scored 7 goals and registered 5 assists. In addition, he has scored 4 in the Champions League 2018/19 while assisting two.

The amusing thing about Griezmann has to be his celebration following scoring. He mimics the L-celebration from Fortnite game. The Frenchman will end the year with 33 goals and 18 assists to his name. What more? Griezmann scored the lone goal in Atletico Madrid's last game of 2018 and that too through a penalty.

It has been one of the better years for the Frenchman and he would hope to add to his involvement in goals in the coming year. One of the tougher fixtures for Atletico would be the RO16 clash against Juventus.
