Griezmann: I have a European Super Cup to play LaLiga Wants to be available against Real Madrid

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has stated his desire to play in the European Super Cup against Real Madrid in Tallinn on August 15, despite having a later break than some of his teammates due to his involvement in France's World Cup victory.

The 27-year-old put in a man of the match display as his free-kick was turned into his own net by Mario Mandzukic, making it 1-0, and he then dispatched a penalty to regain the lead for France after Ivan Perisic's equaliser.

The second half saw Griezmann begin to influence the game on an even greater scale.

"I am very satisfied, happy and proud to have been a part of this; you have to enjoy it," he said.

"What changed me is having learnt from the finals that I have lost and from those which I have won.

"[I need to] be more relaxed when it comes to starting the game.

"All I want to do now is to enjoy [this moment].

"I have a European Super Cup to play on the 15th, we'll see.

"I need to rest, enjoy and return refreshed."

For Griezmann, one of the biggest factors behind France's World Cup victory was the unity in the dressing room.

"We are a very difficult group to beat," he added.

"Everyone wants to win; starters and reserves.

"Nobody kicked off [when they did not play] and that was seen on the pitch.

"We have not yet realised what we have achieved; we will become more aware in a month or perhaps in a few years' time."

There will now be debates as to whether Griezmann is in a position to challenge the duopoly of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to winning the Ballon d'Or, yet the Frenchman is remaining calm.

"It is not in my hands - others are voting," he said.

"I am here to help my team, in my club or the national team, and I try my best.

"I still have a lot to do with my club."
