Being one of the world's finest footballers often means being an idol for fans and players alike, but Euro 2016 golden boot winner Antoine Griezmann has shared the four current stars he looks up to.
The former Real Sociedad forward has been one of Europe's most sought after players since making the move to Atletico Madrid two years ago, scoring 66 goals in 122 appearances for the 'Rojiblancos'. Chelsea and Manchester United are regularly linked with the Frenchman's signature as he continues to cement himself as one of the world's greatest players.

However, there are a select few stars who Griezmann has admitted he would idolise if he were a fan in the stands, and he shares a pitch with them pretty regularly, as he revealed to L'Equipe:
"I think I'd be a fan of Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and also Paul (Pogba), surely. Pogba is a player that we see often, who takes the spotlight well, on the field and off."
"So Paul, I'll give you extra special praise and I bet you a tenner the United fans lose their minds" (Image: PA)
