Hupu News on October 13 Antoine Griezmann is entering the final years of his career. He has a wealth of experience and the privilege of playing alongside or against many of the best football players in history - or at least in the past few decades.

Recently, Antoine Griezmann shared his personal list of the five greatest football players in history. The Atletico Madrid player revealed his options during a show hosted by Spanish presenter Ibai Llanos, with the French striker's list containing some surprising choices. There are also some notable omissions, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, despite the two having played against each other on numerous occasions, particularly in the Champions League and with the national team.

Griezman named David Beckham, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, Messi and Zidane at the top of his list as the best football players in history. Among them, Beckham's selection is somewhat surprising, because few people would include him in the top five in history, but it must be noted that for Griezmann, Beckham is his childhood idol. It is because of him that Griezmann has always worn the No. 7 jersey. It is because of this Englishman that Griezmann is obsessed with changing his image by changing his hairstyle. It is also because of this former Manchester United player that Griezmann always wears long-sleeved jerseys. Everything seems to be paying tribute to Beckham.
