Antoine Griezmann (prononcer : [ɡʁjɛzman]), surnommé « Grizi » ou « Grizou », né le à Mâcon (Saône-et-Loire), est un footballeur international français qui évolue au poste de second attaquant ou milieu offensif à l'Atlético de Madrid.
Repéré par la Real Sociedad à l'âge de seulement treize ans, Antoine Griezmann poursuit sa formation au Pays basque et fait ses débuts professionnels en championnat d'Espagne en 2010. Quatre ans plus tard, il rejoint l'Atlético de Madrid avec lequel en 2016 il sera désigné meilleur joueur de la Liga et atteindra la finale de la Ligue des champions. Vainqueur de la Ligue Europa 2018 en marquant deux buts en finale, il est désigné meilleur joueur de la compétition.
En 2019, il rejoint le FC Barcelone mais, placé dans l'ombre du capitaine Lionel Messi, il ne parvient pas à s'imposer et reviendra deux ans plus tard chez les Colchoneros, dont il deviendra le meilleur buteur en 2024.
En équipe de France, Antoine Griezmann est sélectionné chez les moins de 19 ans avec lesquels il remporte le championnat d'Europe 2010, puis devient international A en 2014 et dispute la Coupe du monde au Brésil. Lors de l'Euro 2016 où la France atteint la finale face a Portugal, il est meilleur buteur avec six buts et sacré meilleur joueur de la compétition, ce qui contribue à sa troisième place au Ballon d'or 2016. Champion du monde en 2018, élu « homme du match » de la finale remportée quatre buts à deux face à la Croatie et troisième meilleur joueur de la compétition, il termine l'année à nouveau troisième au Ballon d'or. Il participe à l'Euro 2020 où la France est éliminé en huitième de finale. Lors du Mondial 2022, il est replacé comme milieu de terrain et atteint à nouveau la finale de la compétition, perdue aux tirs au but face à l'Argentine, puis la demi-finale de l'Euro 2024.
En septembre 2024, à 33 ans, il annonce sa retraite internationale. Joueur majeur de la sélection de Didier Deschamps, il aura cumulé 137 capes (troisième à huit longueurs du record d'Hugo Lloris), 44 buts et 30 passes décisives et, avec 84 rencontres d’affilée disputées avec les Bleus, pulvérisé le précédent record de Patrick Vieira (44).

With the new owner, Robert Maxwell, pushing the button to roll the presses at the Brooklyn plant, nearly 1,000 union members returned to work last night at The Daily News. Their return ended a 21-week strike that was one of the longest newspaper labor disputes in New York's history and began a new era under Mr. Maxwell, the British publisher.

The ninth and final striking union at The Daily News ratified its contract yesterday, and the British publisher Robert Maxwell then assumed ownership. But the paper, the nation's largest tabloid before the 147-day strike, will not bear Mr. Maxwell's imprint, or even his name on its masthead, until tomorrow, apparently because of a foulup on work scheduling.

For more than seven months, April C. Glaspie kept silent on what she said or did not say to President Saddam Hussein of Iraq in their meeting eight days before his tanks rolled into Kuwait last August. Despite criticism that as the American Ambassador to Iraq she was not tough enough in her remarks and that she somehow encouraged Mr. Hussein to invade Kuwait, Ms. Glaspie rejected the advice of friends and colleagues that she play the game of Washington guerrilla warfare by publicizing her side of the story.

They took to the streets in the first days after the strike began at The Daily News, hawking newspapers with brassy pitches that harkened back to the gritty journalism of manual typewriters and hot type. But the hawkers, one of the most visible symbols of the struggle at The News, will begin disappearing from sidewalks and subways today. The purchase of The News by Robert Maxwell and the end of the labor dispute has led newsstands to begin selling the paper again.

The United States Ambassador to Moscow today assailed the main Soviet evening television news program for reviving the old practice of blaming foreign interference and connivance for Soviet problems. The Ambassador, Jack F. Matlock Jr., took the program Vremya (Time) to task at a briefing for Soviet reporters, which was reported by the Interfax news agency. The sharpness and openness of the criticism was a departure from the Ambassador's usual background briefings for the press, and appeared to signal his readiness to challenge the revival of anti-American reporting on the evening news show.

Faced with a Federal trial over allowing television cameras at the state's gas chamber, the warden of San Quentin Prison has banned all reporters from witnessing executions. Previous prison regulations had allowed as many as 14 reporters to watch an execution. The decision, on Wednesday, came days before the start of a Federal trial to consider a lawsuit by a public television station challenging a state policy that forbids recording devices and cameras to cover executions. The trial is to begin Monday.

Go-Video Inc. said two defendants in its antitrust case had settled by paying the company $3.5 million. The two defendants that settled were the Sanyo Electric Company and the NEC Corporation, both of Japan. The trial against the remaining defendants -- the Sony Corporation, the Matsushita Electric Industrial Company and the Victor Company, all also of Japan -- is scheduled to begin on April 2. Go-Video, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., contends the companies conspired to prevent the development and sale of its patented VCR-2. The machine can play one tape while recording another or can tape two programs simultaneously.
