Antoine Griezmann has been a livewire for France in the ongoing World Cup.

The French star has been one of the focal characters for the defending Champions in Qatar and has 3 assists to his name.

He provided assists for both goals on Saturday to help France beat England and book their place in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, once again demonstrating his elite class in the tournament.

Antonie Griezmann has continued the rich form that he had while playing for Atletico Madrid this season. He has so far scored 5 goals and has 3 assists in La Liga for the Madrid outfit.

The Rojiblanco number '8' continues to break records and bring Les Bleues ever closer to retaining their world crown, a milestone that has been achieved twice in history. Italy won consecutive World Cups in 1934 and 1938, while Brazil replicated the same feat in 1958, and 1962.

France have two games left to play this World Cup, and his closest rivals for the top assists award are already eliminated from the competition, so the 31-year-old can finish at the zenith of the assist tally come Sunday.
