Antoine Griezmann, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on three-man shortlist for Best FIFA Player Award

Atletico Madrid and France forward Antoine Griezmann has joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on a three-man shortlist for The Best FIFA Men's Player Award 2016, with Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri nominated in the coaches' category.

Griezmann, 25, finished as top scorer at Euro 2016, where Les Bleus were defeated by Portugal in the final, and also helped take Atletico Madrid to the Champions League final, where they lost out to city rivals Real Madrid.

Ronaldo captained Portugal to their first major international tournament success at Euro 2016, although he hobbled out of the final in Paris because of injury before then urging his team-mates on from the sidelines.
