France forward Antoine Griezmann has won the award for Euro
2016 Player of the Tournament.
UEFA has announced that the 25-year-old has been voted as the
winner by their team of 13 technical observers, which includes Sir
Alex Ferguson and David Moyes.
Griezmann, who signed a new long-term deal at Atletico Madrid
in June, was also named in the team of the tournament after
scoring six goals to win the competition's Golden Boot.

France went down to a surprise 1-0 defeat against Portugal
thanks to substitute Eder's extra-time winner.
UEFA's chief technical officer Ioan Lupescu said: "Antoine
Griezmann was a threat in every game he played.
"He works hard for his team and possesses technique, vision and
quality finishing. The technical observers were in unanimous
agreement that he was the tournament's outstanding player."
Portugal midfielder Renato Sanches, meanwhile, was named as
the tournament's best young player.
