Antoine Griezmann has admitted he remains more stressed about Fortnite than being inside the penalty area during a football game.
The French forward’s Fortnite celebration went popular during the World Cup last summer.
Griezmann, who plays for Atletico Madrid, is in a long list of footballers who are active on Fortnite and conduct live streams during the gameplay.
In an interview with Oh My Goal, the Atletico Madrid forward made a major admission about the videogame. He insisted that he gets more worried while playing Fortnite than being in an actual football game.
“I’m more stressed trying to get a Victory Royale than when I’m in the penalty area. I think [Fortnite] is tougher,” Griezmann said.
The forward stated that it is difficult to keep a level head while playing a game of Fortnite which makes it difficult.

In the same interview, he also disclosed the toughest player he faced in his career.
After a relatively slow start to the season, Griezmann found the pace and has scored 12 league goals for Atletico Madrid so far. He also helped the side registered a stunning 2-0 victory over Italian champions Juventus in the first leg of the round-of-16 of the Champions League.
In the same interview, he was also asked to assemble his five-a-side team. He chose his French teammates Ousmane Dembele and N’Golo Kante, Atletico Madrid’s defender Diego Godin and David Beckham.
“I’d go with Ousmane Dembele and I would say NG, N’Golo Kante, because you never lose when he’s on your team,” Griezmann said.
“I would take Godin because he always finds a way to cheat and win!
