the atletico madrid man double sent hosts France through to the final of Euro 2016 with a 2-0 win over world champions Germany in Marseille.
Griezmann gave Les Bleus the lead from the spot after Germany captain and the most cap player in euro tournament Bastian Schweinsteiger was adjudged to have handled inside the penalty area right on the stroke of half time.

Joachim Low's men has now scored as many goals for France at the European Championship finals dominated the match until the spot-kick decision, but they posed less of a threat after the break – failing to register a shot on target until injury time as France defended stoutly.
And Griezmann sealed the victory in the closing stages after mistakes from Joshua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer presented him with a simple finish.

Germany had beaten France en route to their World Cup success two years ago, but they will not secure a famous double as their 20-year wait for a continental crown goes on, with Portugal now awaiting Les Bleus in Sunday's final at Stade de France.

After winning their first major semi-final appearance since the 2006 World Cup, France are certainly the  favorites as they look to seal glory having won their two previous Euro finals.

Griezmann who equaled thierry Henry record by scoring 6 for France at the European Championship finals is now the leading player for the golden boot award after he scored two today having previously scored two in group stage and two against Iceland in quarter finals.France will now play Portugal on Sunday in Paris.
