On a personal level, Antoine Griezmann had another complicated evening with the Blues, Friday evening in the quarter-finals of the Euro, against Portugal.
Antoine Griezmann is definitely having a difficult Euro 2024… Disappointing since the start of the tournament, the best passer in the history of the Blues did not shine on Friday evening, during the victory of the French team in the quarter-finals over Portugal, at the end of the penalty shootout (0-0, 5-3 tab).
After being used on one side against Belgium, Antoine Griezmann nevertheless found a position he likes in the heart of the game against the Portuguese. But as he has since the start of the Euro, the Atlético Madrid player did not weigh on the debates. So much so that he was the first player to be replaced by Didier Deschamps.
Griezmann is “not at the top”, admits Deschamps
Replaced by Ousmane Dembélé in the 6th minute of play, “Grizi” came out with his head down. It must be said that the 33-year-old Mâconnais went through an eighth match in the blue jersey without being decisive. It is his worst series since his debut in the French team.
In the post-match press conference, Didier Deschamps did not spare his vice-captain, who was lacking in efficiency, like the “Kyk’s”. Yes Kylian (Mbappé) and Antoine (Griezmann) are not at the top of what they can do but despite that we are here, dropped “DD”. Both are supposed to give us the efficiency we don’t have.”
