Les Bleus will play in Sunday’s showpiece against either Croatia or England in Moscow after Samuel Umtiti’s goal in the 51st minute proved enough for the 1998 champions.
It is a second consecutive major tournament final appearance for France after finishing runners-up to Portugal when they hosted Euro 2016, and Griezmann hopes for French joy during the World Cup final.
“I am happy with the performance of my team-mates,” he told L’Equipe
“We defended and scored a goal on a set-piece. It was a bit like Atletico.
“It’s amazing to see the joy we can give. This was the goal I had set myself at the beginning of the tournament.”
Griezmann has been one of France’s most influential players in Russia, scoring three goals and assisting twice in six matches.
