French hero Antoine Griezmann finally revealed the reason behind his bizarre little dance celebration and it’s not what you’d expect. The French striker who’s currently leading the Golden Boot race with 6 goals, was in fine mettle against Germany to end 58 years of hurt. The French Prince revealed that the celebration is a dance move from Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’. He said: "The celebration is a dance from Drake's music video 'Hotline Bling'. I started doing it at Atletico, and then I couldn't do it against Albania because the emotion was too strong, same for the first goal against Ireland , then I remembered it, and just did it."
Atletico Madrid forward put France ahead with a clinical penalty on the stroke of half-time before doubling the lead with a sweetly struck second half shot, Sport24 reported. Despite dominating possession, Germany failed to make any impact after Bastian Schweinsteiger conceded harsh penalty for handball. This was France's first win over Germany in their fifth meeting at major finals. With the win, France will face Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal in the mouth-watering summit clash at Stade de France on Sunday. After guiding France into the Euro Championship final, star striker Antoine Griezmann has brushed aside comparisons with Michel Platini, saying he is still far from the French football legend's record of nine goals in a single tournament.
'I'm glad to be scoring goals, but I'm still far from Platini's total,' Griezmann was quoted as saying in Spanish newspaper Marca. 'I hope to one day get close to his tally.' The Atletico Madrid forward scored twice to increase his tally to six as hosts France defeated world champions Germany 2-0 in a pulsating semifinal clash in Marseille on Friday. The 25-year-old also credited the whole team and the whole staff for their inspiring run in the tournament and expressed hope that his side will continue similar show in the final as well. Reflecting on his opening goal from the penalty spot, Griezmann said he was determined to erase his Champions League misery when he missed his crucial penalty in the final loss against Real Madrid in May. France will now face Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal in the mouth-watering summit clash at Stade de France on Sunday.
