BREAKING: Griezmann has RETIRED from international football at the age of 33
The 33-year-old forward has been one of Les Bleus top stars for the duration of his international career, playing a key role in their 2018 World Cup win. He also helped them the final of Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup.
For the first time since early in his France career, Griezmann has dropped out of the starting line-up for Didier Deschamps, starting on the bench in the Euro 2024 semi-final against Spain, and in their two Nations League games in September.
He won’t play for French national team anymore, decision made and confirmed.
“I close this wonderful chapter of my life, thanks for all the memories”, Griezou says.
137 games, 44 goals, 38 assists with France.
Also won World Cup + Nations League with them.
