'Griezmann is missing from the 'Best' nominees'

"I hope that he will be nominated for the Balon D'Or. He won trophies and had an excellent season" the Spanish midfielder affirmed as his national team prepared for a match up against Croatia.

"It's true that he wasn't at his best at the start of the season, but he's had an incredible 2018" Saul insisted, in reference to the World Cup, Europa League and UEFA Super Cup trophies that the French forward has bagged this year.

Croatia's Luka Modric, Egypt's Mohamed Salah and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo were all nominated for FIFA's 'The Best Award' ahead of Griezmann, which provoaked many of his team-mates to come out to decry the decision to ommit him from the top three as unjust.
