Barcelona striker Antoine Griezmann has been named All Football Player of the Week.
Griezmann highlights our All Football Team of the Week and was selected as a competitive candidate in our All Football Player of the Week Vote, in which he casts the most votes beating Lewandowski, Insigne, Salah and Abraham to the award.
On his debut at Camp Nou, the French forward played a much higher tempo with two breathtaking goals (and one delightful celebration) and a supreme assist.
In the absence of Messi, Suarez and Dembele, Barcelona needed a hero when they were falling behind 1-0 to Betis, then Griezmann stood out to turn around the situation with two goals.
The €120 man is awesome and he has truly arrived. The highlight of his performance was his incredible linkup play with the midfielders and the full-backs.
Griezmann admitted after the match that he copied Messi for his second goal, perhaps he will copy Messi's role at Barca one day.

Deserved even though I'd have personally given it to Abraham for overcoming the racist attacks on him and even proving the doubters wrong by scoring a brace after 70% of the fanbase gave up on him... that takes courage for a 21 year old I remember it took Lukaku months to recover when he missed the pen in the super cup...to bounce back takes mental strength of an elite and Tammy has that. He is worth trusting for the future and with maybe 1 more class striker in the window we can be elite going forward....

The French maestro Griezmann was the one to step up in Messi's absence and lead Barca to their first league win this season. The volley followed by that beautiful left-footed shot in the top left corner of the net against Real Betis which made him the MVP

I knew he was going to in because of the votes he received, he impressed us in the match, the second goal was stunning, he deserves it more than anyone on the list, he is a great player and am glad he is selected as the winner.
