Griezmann Blames Wife for Missed France Penalty
Antoine Griezmann promised to work on his penalties having joked his wife's absence may have resulted in his spot-kick miss against Albania.
France won their Euro 2020 qualifier 4-1 as Kingsley Coman grabbed a double alongside goals from Olivier Giroud and Jonathan Ikone.
However, Griezmann was unable to add to the tally when presented with a first-half chance from the spot, his effort crashing off the crossbar and coming back into play.
Asked about his penalty miss, the Barcelona attacker said: "I don't know [what happened]. I don't know.
"As I said earlier, maybe it's because my wife didn't watch the game!
"I was on a good dynamic but we can't score every time. Too bad, I'll have to work on it."
While the attacker was not impressed by his spot-kick attempt, he was delighted with the way his side put on a convincing display to remain joint-top of Group H.
