France international, Antoine Griezmann has retired from internatiional football.
The footballer made the announcement on Monday.
“It is with a heart full of memories that I close this chapter of my life,” he said.
“Thank you for this magnificent tricolor adventure and see you soon.”
A central part of France’s World Cup triumph in 2018, Griezmann also lit up several other major tournaments for Les Bleus as part of a glittering international career.
The 33-year-old Atletico Madrid attacker retires as France’s fourth-most capped player with 135 appearances for the national team, while he scored 44 goals – which is only the fourth-most for France.
Griezmann was man of the match in the 2018 World Cup final as France beat Croatia to win the tournament for the second time and was the top scorer at Euro 2016, where they were runners-up.
Griezmann dropped into a deeper midfield role for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but was a revalation for Didier Deschamps’ side, and won the silver ball behind Lionel Messi after Argentina beat France in the final.
