France star Antoine Griezmann demands he has the right to be on the platform during the current year's Ballon d'Or in the wake of winning the World Cup and real flatware with Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann came third in 2016 in the voting behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for the most lofty individual honor in football, in spite of not winning anything.

That year was anguishing for the forward as he lost the Euro 2016 last with France and the Champions League last with Atletico.

In any case, this season fortune has favored Griezmann, who featured in France's triumphant World Cup winning effort in Russia following a great year at Atletico, who won the Europa League and UEFA Super Cup.

"Looking at 2016 and this year, for me I must be in the best three," the 27-year-old revealed to French games day by day L'Equipe.

"In 2016, I lost two finals and was in the main three. This time I have won three finals."

Inquired as to whether not winning it would be out of line, Griezmann answered: "Not uncalled for, but rather I would ponder what more I could do. I have won three trophies, emerged at definitive minutes, yet it isn't me who votes."

Ronaldo and Messi have ruled the Ballon d'Or throughout the most recent decade and the Portuguese whiz will be a contender again this year in the wake of winning the Champions League with Real Madrid.

In any case, Griezmann, who dismissed a move to join Messi at Barcelona in the nearby season, concedes finishing their stranglehold over the honor would be exceptional.

"I consider it, particularly the closer I get to it. The Ballon d'Or is an esteemed honor, and it is the most astounding you can go as a player. There are trophies in your group, in the World Cup, the Euro, yet it's not the same," he said.

Be that as it may, there are signs that Griezmann's transcendent 2018 on the field probably won't be sufficient.

UEFA gave their honor for the best player of last season to Luka Modric, captain of the Croatia side that achieved the World Cup last and a Champions League victor with Real.

Furthermore, Griezmann was discarded, alongside whatever remains of his France partners, from the last three candidates for FIFA's player of the year grant.

The finalists for that prize are Modric, Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah, a similar three who made up the platform for UEFA's honor.

Gotten some information about the FIFA reprimand, Griezmann answered that "it's unusual, and a disgrace. It is a trophy given out by FIFA, would it say it isn't?

"Furthermore, the World Cup is sorted out by FIFA, isn't that so? We win the World Cup, and there is no French player there. That is their decision yet it is astounding that there is no best on the planet."

The Ballon d'Or grant was run mutually by FIFA and magazine France Football until the point when the finish of 2016, since when world football's administering body have returned to giving out their own particular prize.

While a board of supporters, national group skippers, mentors and writers vote in favor of the FIFA grant, just columnists vote in favor of the Ballon d'Or.
