Antoine Griezmann Isn't World Class, According To Franck Ribery

Antoine Griezmann is one of the most sought after players in world football. He was sensational at Euro 2016 in France, where he helped his country reach the final and scooped the Player of the Tournament and Golden Boot awards.

But that's not enough to convince fellow Frenchman Franck Ribery that Griezmann warrants the "world class" tag.

Speaking to Sport BILD, the Bayern Munich winger said that Griezmann needed to prove himself a bit more before being considered in the top bracket.

He said:

"He's not a world-class player yet, because he still hasn't repeated his level of performance consistently over time."
