Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has scoffed at claims from Antoine Griezmann over the Atletico Madrid star's status in the game.

The Frenchman had suggested after his stellar year that he now sits at the same table as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"His ignorance is very bold," Ramos said to reporters at his pre-match press conference.

"When I listen to this guy talk I remember Totti, Xavi, Raul, Iniesta, Iker... players who have many titles and they don't have this individual award [Ballon d'Or].

"He should be advised by Cholo or Godin, people who have values that would suit him."
