Antoine Griezmann has dropped a bombshell by announcing his international retirement this Monday.
The Atletico Madrid forward, who helped France win the 2018 World Cup, revealed the decision on his social media after over a decade of representing his country.
In a heartfelt post on his X account, Griezmann expressed his gratitude for his time with the French national team: “It’s with a heart full of memories that I close this chapter. Thank you for the unforgettable adventure and see you soon.”
In a video accompanying the message, he reflected on the highlights of his 10-year journey with the French squad, mentioning the many challenges faced, victories achieved, and cherished moments along the way.
