Antoine Griezmann

On the 2nd spot is Antoine Griezmann.

He has been spectacular for France so far. He has contributions everywhere, literally everywhere! Griezmann has remained crucial to the French attacking set-up. His versatility and industriousness has proven that his country comes first for him, while putting aside his personal ambitions on various occasions. He has also led them in crucial moments.

The Frenchman has taken 19 shots among which 9 were on target and 3 were scored. He has also completed 171 passes and has assisted 2 times.

He has been brilliant from set-pieces. Adding to it, he is the only forward in the tournament to have more than 20 recoveries leaving behind the likes of Umtiti, who's a defender.
