Kylian Mbappé is not the only one to have shone on Saturday during the France-Denmark match.

Another player is closing in on a record held by Thierry Henry, Antoine Griezmann, with 26 assists for the France national team.

A return to form for number 7 who concluded his interview on leaving the field with a short sentence that did not go unnoticed.

The Blues won 2-1 against Denmark on Saturday at the World Cup in Qatar, a victory synonymous with qualification for the round of 16.

Artisan of this success, Antoine Griezmann, passer on the second French goal.

The striker equals Zinedine Zidane in the number of assists in selection and is only one length away from Thierry Henry's record.

A sentence that he does not appropriate for the first time

Just after the final whistle, Antoine Griezmann took the time to answer a few questions, and just before returning to the locker room, he said: "Long live France and long live the Republic".

A striking sentence that he does not appropriate for the first time.

During the 2018 World Cup, just before the final against Croatia, in a press conference the player was also explained.

"You have to be proud to be French, we say it very little, we are good in France, we eat well, we have a beautiful country, I want young people to also say 'long live the Republic, long live France' “, he confided.

Griezmann known for his quirky gimmicks

This little sentence had gone up to the ears of Emmanuel Macron.

In 2019, during the presentation of the Legion of Honor to the Blues, the president had explained to him that he had been upset by his statement.

The number 7 of the France team, well known for his quirky gimmicks, had already stood out for his cover of rapper Drake's choreography or a dance straight out of a Fortnite online video game.

A time when he scored goal on goal with the Blues.
