Source context
Griezmann was a team-mate of Argentine GOAT Messi at Barcelona. He is now a direct rival of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and one of those that continues to be amazed by the level of performance produced by an evergreen 39-year-old. Messi is leading the MLS Golden Boot race again, with 25 goals to his name, and should be a serious contender for a record-extending third successive MVP award. Asked if anybody can stop the South American superstar, Grimandi said: “When you talk about the Ballon d'Or, sometimes I said maybe they're going to give it to him just for all he has done in his career and still finish in the World Cup final, still finish MVP.
