French Forward Antoine Griezmann Announces Retirement From International Football

World Cup Winner Steps Away After 10 Years With Les Bleus

Forward Ends Career With 42 Goals For France

Antoine Griezmann has announced his retirement from international football, bringing an end to a 10-year career with the French national team. The 31-year-old forward made the announcement via a post on social media, thanking the fans and his teammates for the memories.

Griezmann made his debut for France in 2014 and quickly became a key player for Les Bleus. He played a major role in France's victory at the 2018 World Cup, scoring four goals and winning the Bronze Ball as the tournament's third-best player.

In total, Griezmann made 108 appearances for France, scoring 42 goals. He is France's fifth all-time top scorer, behind Thierry Henry, Olivier Giroud, Karim Benzema, and Michel Platini.

Griezmann's retirement comes as no surprise. He has been struggling with form for the past few years, and he was left out of France's squad for the 2022 World Cup.

Griezmann's retirement is a major loss for France. He was one of the most talented players in the world, and he will be missed by the national team.
