137 meetings in Blue, and not one more. Third most capped player in the France team, tied with Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann announced his international retirement on Monday September 30 to everyone’s surprise. “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”says the 2018 world champion in a video on his social networks.

The Atlético Madrid striker will therefore not appear in the list unveiled Thursday by Didier Deschamps for the Nations League matches against Israel, on October 10, and against Belgium, four days later.
