WATCH: Olivier Giroud Denies Antoine Griezmann One Of The Greatest Assists Ever

Antoine Griezmann cannot be happy with Olivier Giroud after denying him what could have been one of the greatest assists of all-time.

Both players were in action for France last night as they failed to pick up all three points in their first World Cup qualifier away at Belarus.

It was a frustrating 90 minutes for Didier Deschamps and his French stars, missing plenty of chances to beat a Belarus team who were rewarded with a 0-0 draw for their defensive efforts.

But Giroud arguably had the best chance to win the game - and as well as denying his side the lead seven minutes into the second half, the Arsenal striker also denied Griezmann one incredible assist:

How bad must Giroud feel when he looks back at that Griezmann back-heel pass to set up his chance?

And he'll hope last night's result doesn't come back to haunt them in a strong World Cup qualifying group which includes Belarus, Bulgaria, Sweden, Holland and Luxembourg.
