Regarded as one of the best players in La Liga, Antoine Griezmann is another player who has impressed this decade. For years, he has played a crucial goalscoring role for both Atletico Madrid and France.

During his time in Madrid, the French forward made 257 appearances across all competitions and netted over 130 times. Griezmann has also been a prolific goalscorer for Les Bleus. The 28-year-old won the Golden Boot in Euro 2016 and was France's top scorer at the World Cup in 2018, he had a great time playing in Russia as he scored four goals in seven games.

In the upcoming Euro 2020, the Barcelona forward is expected to play a huge role once again. Since making his debut five years ago, the French international has scored 30 goals and is sixth on the list of France's all time top goalscorers. Although he currently appears to be struggling at Barca, Deschamps continues to see Griezmann as an extremely valuable player.
