Which is exactly my point,the name Ballack will be spoken of more than Griezmann.
How will Antoine Griezmann be remembered?
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
sums most of it up
He's been one of the best French players of his generation and an important part of a world cup winning team, as well as an important part of one the best Spanish clubs of the decade.
So being easily remembered by football history geeks, Atletico supporters and even more casual or focused on their own club la liga, French and Spanish football fans of a certain age is a secure thing.
Outside of that he'll be in the same category as vast majority of players that didn't manage to gain superstardom or all-time great reputation and get forgotten as decades go on. Most fans don't give a shit about football history before they start following the sport outside vaguely knowing the small list of enduring superstars and their own club history... or league at a push.
Really good for France and Atletico in his peak in two of their most successful eras. Both will remember him fondly. Think his reputation is lower now because of the Barca move but when all is said and done people will remember him scoring key goals in the Champions League and major international tournaments rather than this year.
Documentary wanker
He needs to move from Barca and try to re-discover his form elsewhere. This transfer has been a disaster for everyone involved.
A player with an average 6/10. That’s it.
I like to see how the ones snubbing Manchester United are doing. The list goes on: Renato Sanches, Antoine Griezmann...

Fantastic player for Atletico for 5 seasons, France's best player, golden boot winner and the tournament's best player at Euro 2016, major contributor to France's 2018 World Cup win, part of France's golden generation.
One bad season living in Messi's shadow at a terribly managed Barcelona doesn't erase his past accomplishments. What he needs is a move to a different club where he can be the key player so he can find his confidence and form again.
As for the staying at Atletico video announcement, that was pretty cringe but he's not going to be remembered for that. As for his WC final celebration, who cares? it's a celebration, I'm sure people will care more about him scoring in a WC final.

La decision
That, the blackface, the silly goal celebration, I have to admit I find him a bit annoying.
Personal feelings aside I think he's about as notable (and talented) as Yori Djorkaeff.
He is gonna be the type of player where fans 20 years from now will go: "Aaaah yeah, Griezmann, he was massive at Atletico, quality player! Can't believe I forgot about him. Definitely in the top 25 attacking players of the 2010s! Sucked at Barca, though."
I just hope Barca will stop playing him out of position. It’s like putting Müller on the wing. It kinda works but is only mediocre to good.
He, like Müller, is also a player that can elevate any team that plays with a plan and purpose, but he can't drag a horribly adjusted team out of the mud by himself. See Müller in Löw's squads post 2014 (still fuming that this fraud hasn't been sacked yet) or under Kovac, and Griezmann now.
He will be a quiz question in a few years. Bonus point if you can spell his name correctly.
As a lazy cnut overrated
Once was a great tool for Simeones football, then leave that behind and followed silly money to Barca, and forget asking the officials there how he would fit into that team. Then you remember his stupid telefon cheering and thats it.
Mendieta seems to be a fair comparison (both even have a failed Barcelona move). Although I think that a younger generation would actually remember him quite well, his persona resonates well with them.
not a player who ever excited me
Next step Middlesbrough! That was some fall from grace.
Vaguely.
Rarely
Shiny hair.
Most of you are being too harsh purely because you don't like him which I find as childish as his 'La decision'.
Griezmann was a great player and one who shone in La Liga, CL/EL and for his National team. Him not fitting in at Barca doesn't change any of that. He finished 3rd in the Ballon D'or twice so of course he'll be remembered.
Not to mention he won a World Cup and played for the most infamous club team of the decade. He may not be Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo and a handful of others but when talk of the 2010-2020 era comes up, Griezmann's name will be mentioned.

Strange bunch we have here who are above remembering more than 10 footballers per generation.
Didn't follow silly money. He was getting the same at atletico
Wasn’t he a barber or something?
It's hilarious that player who moved from Atletico to Barca is termed as "following the money" ignoring Barca are one of the best clubs and the chance to win trophies is much higher at Barca.
Even stranger when you consider that Griezmann is a top 10 player of last decade.
I think people are still a bit bitter that he did not join us.
I’ve already forgotten about him
Paul pogba’s mate with a fortnite addiction and a tendency for unnecessary drama with an anti-climatic finish. Footballing wise will be remembered for his childish celebrations.
No, he just needs to find one.
People are overrating his impact. Atletico isn't big enough for him to be remembered and he is not Totti, quality or loyalty wise. Ayala or Aimar for Valencia should be good examples. The world cup might help him, but I see Mbappe eventually taking most of the credit for that team.
Free kicks are the the easiest on pes.
This is pretty much spot on.
Just saw on twitter he has 3 children who were all born on April 8th, 2016, 2019, and 2021.
That's how I will remember him.

This. He will be remembered in France and Spain, basically grew up as a footballer at Real Sociedad. He won’t be remembered much outside of that because very few players get remembered across the globe beyond their career-based fan base.
Larsson type of player
He reminds me of Forlan and will fade in memory in a similar way i would think.
Comparing him with Ballack is not fair in my opinion, Ballack was a step above as a player in how much impact and quality he added to his teams.

Ill remember him as not joining us when he should and my burning hatred of Fortnite is largely due to his stupid celebrations.
