Atletico Madrid v Las Palmas - La Liga
The talisman of Atletico Madrid

Blessed with flair and the finishing skills of a poacher, he always remains a hot topic in the transfer market gossips round the year. He has matured from being the young lad from Real Sociedad, who went down so easily upon being tackled to a fine striker.

The world got a first glimpse of his class during the FIFA World Cup 2014, and since then he hasn't looked back. He was a major reason for France's successful run to the final of Euro 2016, and despite them losing to Portugal, Griezmann was the UEFA EURO 2016 Player of the Tournament.

Despite the fact that he has to compete with seasoned forwards like Diego Costa, Fernando Torres and Kevin Gameiro for a place in the starting XI, he still remains Simeone's first choice striker in Atletico Madrid's 4-4-2 formation.
