6 replacements for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

#4 Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann and his celebrity brand would fit right in at Real Madrid

While the first two names on the list are youngsters who can eventually grow to replace Ronaldo, they do still require a measure of grooming... the next four names, though, are readymade solutions that you can drop into the Madrid squad right now and expect to take to the pressure, and the stage, like a fish to water.

Antoine Griezmann may be struggling at the moment for Atletico - but as he showed with France during the final qualifiers/friendlies, it could very well be down to the febrile combination of ill-suiting-formation, him-wanting-to-go, and Atleti as a whole not playing well - and his class should never be in doubt.

Capable of changing the course of the game, and entire seasons, with a swoosh of his boots, while celebrating it all with deliberate silliness, Griezmann is exactly the kind of celebrity that would love calling the Bernabeu home.
