ANTONIE GRIEZMANN met with the son of a couple murdered by an ISIS terrorist to present him with a special memento.
The striker presented the match ball from France’s win over the Republic of Ireland to Hugo Salvaing, whose father was murdered by homegrown jihadist Larossi Abballa earlier this month.
Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, a senior police officer, was stabbed repeatedly in the throat and stomach at his home in Magnanville, 30 miles west of Paris.
His partner Jessica Schneider, was also murdered in front of the couple's three-year-old son.
Alballa, 25, waited for the couple to return home on 13 June, hidden behind a gate.
Salvaing at first escaped and shouted to neighbours to call police but the Jihadist caught up with him and repeateldy stabbed him in the stomach.
