"It was a privilege, it was the turn of the new generation", Antoine

The French striker, Antoine Griezmann, has announced his withdrawal from the French national team. The Atletico Madrid player made 137 appearances for his country, scoring 44 goals, and helped them win the 2018 World Cup, converting a penalty in the final as France beat Croatia 4-2 in Moscow. He also won the 2021 Nations League with his country.

" With a heart full of memories I close this chapter of my life. Thank you for this great tricolor adventure and see you soon. After 10 incredible years marked by challenges, successes and unforgettable moments, it is time for me to turn a page and to pave the way for the new generation. Wearing this jersey was an honor and a privilege ," he said in a video posted on social networks.

Griezmann started for France in a 3-1 Nations League defeat by Italy in September, before his final appearance came as a substitute in a 2-0 win against Belgium three days later.

He has revealed his decision ahead of the next matches with the national team in October, when France will play against Israel and Belgium in the League of Nations.

Griezmann has been a key member of France's squad under manager Didier Deschamps since making his managerial debut in 2014. He was the top scorer at Euro 2016 with six goals as hosts France finished runners-up, losing to Portugal in the final. Griezmann also played in the 2022 World Cup final, when France were beaten on penalties by Argentina after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
