9 Olivier Giroud

Don't allow the mediocre performance and early replacement in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final change your perspective. One of the competition's most talented attackers was Olivier Giroud. The French striker demonstrated why he is arguably the most underappreciated striker of his time by contributing four main goals to France's Tournament run. Giroud helped lessen the pressure on players like Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann by contributing with important goals in the knockout rounds against Poland and England.

10 Emiliano Martinez

The significance of Martinez's one-on-one save of Kolo Muani in the closing seconds of extra time is difficult to express. The goal was open for the Eintracht Frankfurt attacker when Nicolas Otamendi slipped during a clearance attempt. Martinez received the Golden Glove trophy given to the World Cup's top goalkeeper.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper, though, went off his line quickly and at full stretch to prevent France from scoring in the dying seconds. Given the circumstances, it very easily might rank among the top saves of all time. It could be easily announced as the save of the tournament. When it comes to penalties, Martinez's position between the sticks has created a sense of inevitability, which says much to his skill.
