Antoine Griezmann became, this Monday evening against Belgium, the third most capped player in the history of the Blues. With 137 caps to his name, Grizou joins his colleague Olivier Giroud (also 137 caps) with whom he shared the stage for 10 years (2014-2024). With 44 goals and 29 assists in the tricolor jersey, the Atlético de Madrid striker is also the best passer and the fourth best scorer in the history of the French team.

Antoine Griezmann could quickly become the most capped player in the history of Les Bleus. Hugo Lloris, record cap holder (145), now retired, has only eight more games under his belt. Only five for the second, Lilian Thuram (142). Despite his recent downturn with Les Tricolores, the best player of Euro 2016, an essential cog in the Deschamps system and still performing very well with Atlético, should very soon go for the top spot on this podium.
