Griezmann is also one of the contenders for winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or award in January but believes that his counterpart Cristiano Ronaldo is the favourite to win it. He said, "It's a goal for me but Cristiano Ronaldo has just won the Champions League and the European Championship so he deserves. Lionel Messi is also there and will continue to score goals like every year, so it seems that they will both be difficult for me to overcome."
