MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann has been spared having to remember three different dates to mark the birthdays of each of his three children -- as they were all born on April 8.

When the French World Cup winner confirmed on social media that his wife Erika Choperena had given birth to a baby daughter on Thursday, remarkably it was on the same date as their elder children, Mia (born in 2016) and Amaro (born in 2019).
