Frank Leboeuf has taken aim at France star Antoine Griezmann in the wake of his unconvincing display in the Euro 2016 final. This would be an incredible move if it happens, but it is far from likely.
Specifically at 18 years and 328 days old, the Bayern Munich midfielder became the youngest ever European Championship finalist and victor, whilst also winning the Young Player of the Tournament award ahead of France’s Kingsley Coman and fellow Portuguese Raphael Guerriero.
France forward Antoine Griezmann has been named as the UEFA EURO 2016 Player of the Tournament by UEFA’s technical observers after finishing with six goals and two assists.
“We have to be critical”. In the final he had two chances and he didn’t finish them.
“But UEFA has always worked like this”. The man of the match is always the player who scored the goal.
The Atletico Madrid attacker had a slow start to the competition, however, and he was dropped to the bench for the hosts’ second group game against Albania following a below-par display against Romania. We only saw him from the quarter-finals on.
“You have Pepe, you have Gareth Bale who carried Wales”.

The technical observers made their decision by pinpointing the player who shone brightest individually and as part of his team, and whose overall contribution had a major impact on his side’s performances.
