Antoine Griezmann Retires: 33-year-old world cup winner shocks fans with exit announcement
Antoine Griezmann, a key player for France over the past decade, announced on Monday that he is ending his international career with the French national team. The 33-year-old forward from Atletico Madrid, known as «Grizou» by fans, has played 137 matches for France and scored 44 goals in his 10-year career with the team.
Griezmann made debut in 2014
Griezmann debuted for France in a friendly match against the Netherlands in 2014 and quickly became an important player under coach Didier Deschamps, contributing both as a scorer and assist provider. Only Hugo Lloris and Lilian Thuram have played more matches for France.
“It’s with a heart full of memories that I close this chapter of my life,” Griezmann said on Instagram. “Thank you for this wonderful tricolor adventure and see you soon.”
Griezmann ranks fourth on France's all-time scoring list, behind Olivier Giroud, Thierry Henry, and Kylian Mbappe. He played significant roles in France's runner-up finish at the 2016 European Championship, its victory at the 2018 World Cup, and winning the Nations League three years later.
“After 10 incredible years, marked by challenges, successes and unforgettable moments, it is time for me to turn a page and make way for the new generation,” he said.
