French football legend Antoine Griezmann has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 33. The Athletico Madrid player made 137 appearances and scored 44 goals and assisted 38 times.
He won the 2018 world cup and the UEFA Nations league with France. A central part of France’s World Cup triumph in 2018, Griezmann also lit up several other major tournaments for Les Bleus as part of a glittering international career.
Griezmann was man of the match in the 2018 World Cup final as France beat Croatia to win the tournament for the second time and was the top scorer at Euro 2016, where they were runners-up.
Griezmann dropped into a deeper midfield role for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but was a revelation for Didier Deschamps’ side, and won the silver ball behind Lionel Messi after Argentina beat France in the final.
Happy retirement Antoine Griezmann 👋
