Antoine Griezmann graced the cover of France Football with the label "The Spaniard". 

Griezmann has frequently discussed the influence of Spain on his youth footballing career. He received an opportunity in Real Sociedad's youth academy after getting turned down in France.

"When France didn't see his talent, Spain was dazzled by his touch of the ball and offered him the chance of developing his footballing career," writes the article.

Griezmann talked about how Spain developed his style. 

"France brought me into the world, but Spain adopted me...I learned to play with one or two touches. You do that every day and it becomes a part of you. I think more, I anticipate more. Spain taught me how to play simple," said Griezmann.

"He thinks in Spanish, he dreams in Spanish," added his sister.
