Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has revealed that he admires Karim Benzema, hailing his international teammate as a "top player".
The two will face each other this weekend in the Madrid derby and Griezmann warns his teammates that Benzema is one of Real's biggest threats on the attack.
"He's a top player, he always shows his class on the pitch," the 23-year-old said, according to Goal.com.
Atletico's French forward is proving to be his own side's biggest attacking threat, after scoring 14 goals in 33 appearances for the Spanish league champions.
Griezmann completed his £24m switch from Real Sociedad to Atletico last summer on a six-year deal.
