Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann is adamant France teammate N'Golo Kante is a card shark.

The Chelsea midfielder has long been teased by his France teammates over his antics when playing cards - which has now led to a popular terrace song being created.

And Griezmann confirmed: "Kanté? The only one who gets him out of his shyness is Thomas Lemar. They play together and they sting themselves. In cards, training games, basketball, they are always needling eachother.

"I tried a little when he lost in the reduced games during training, but it was so rare that he lost them.

"Is he really a cheater? Yeah! A big and good cheater. Especially cards. On the bus, we could hear the guys screaming because he was cheating."
