Antoine Griezmann leaves the French national team after ten years and two World Cup finals (one won in 2018 and one lost in 2022). The announcement arrives on social media: “I am closing this chapter of my life. It is with deep emotion that I announce my retirement as a player for France, after ten incredible years. Today the time has come for me to move on and make room for the new generation “.
The footballer shared a video that summarizes his career in the ‘Bleus’. Then comes France’s tribute, from the national team’s Instagram profile: a photo of the World Cup in Griezmann’s hand (recognizable by the ‘Hope’ tattoo on his knuckles) and a video launched with a ‘we will miss you’.
