Antoine Griezmann would be France team-mate Blaise Matuidi's pick for this year's Ballon d'Or but he played down the significance of a showdown between Euro 2016's top scorer and Cristiano Ronaldo in Sunday's final against Portugal.
Griezmann scored 32 goals in all competitions for Atletico Madrid last season and has carried this stunning form into Euro 2016 - his brace in Thursday's semi-final triumph over Germany taking his tournament tally to six.
National team coaches, captains and select journalists vote annually to award the Ballon d'Or to world football's outstanding player.
This means Matuidi will be no more than a keen onlooker but, ahead of the players facing off at the Stade de France, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder revealed he would plump for his compatriot and not the three-time winner from Real Madrid.
