Antoine Griezmann was born in Macon, France to Alain and Isabelle Griezmann. His mother was of Portuguese descent and he would often spend holidays in Portugal. He started his career as a child with hometown club UF Macon. Often looked over due to his size he was finally noticed by Spanish side Real Sociedad. In 2005 Griezmann moved to Spain and joined Real Sociedad’s youth academy. He would spend the next four years with their youth side before making his senior club debut in 2009.

Griezmann would make his senior club debut in September 2009 in the Copa del Rey against Ray Vellacano. Griezemann would stay a mainstay on the squad and sign a contract in 2010 to keep him with Real Sociedad until 2015. The club’s success in the 2009-2010 season would earn them a place back in La Liga in 2010. In the 2012-2013 season, Griezmann would help Real Sociedad qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2003.
Being out of the public eye in France Griezmann was initially overlooked for the French National team but received a call to play in France’s U-19 squad in February 2010 after his time with Real Sociedad on the bigger stage. He would be on the squad that would win the 2010 U-19 UEFA Championships which means the team qualified for the 2011 U-20 World Cup. Griezmann would continue making his way up the youth sides but found himself in hot water in 2012, being suspended along with a few other players due to disciplinary reasons. This left Griezmann’s future with the French National team in question as he considered switching allegiances to Portugal.

In July 2014 Real Sociedad agreed on terms to move Griezmann to Atletico Madrid. He made his debut with the team in the 2014 Supercopa de Espana. Griezmann would solidify himself as a major player on the national scene with Atletico Madrid. Domestically Atletico would win the 2015 Spanish Super Cup while internationally they would reach the 2016 Champions League Finals which they would lose to Real Madrid and win the 2018 Europa League Final. His success would also earn him a nomination for the 2016 Ballon d’Or.
Griezmann would smooth things over with the FFF and find his way to the French senior national team in 2014, making the 2014 World Cup squad. He would go on to also make the 2016 Euro squad who would be playing in their home country. Griezmann and the home squad would make the finals but eventually, lose to Portugal. Even though his team would not be able to finish with a win Greizmann would go on to win the tournaments Golden Boot and Top Player awards.
Greizmann will have another chance to add to his hardware this year in Russia as part of the French National Team at the 2018 World Cup. The team is one of the more favored squads but anything can happen at the World Cup!
