The French team was out on Sunday evening. For their last match in 2024, the Blues met in Italy, three days after their sad draw against Israel and two months after the slap received at the Parc des Princes against the same Nazionale (1-3). A painful memory for Antoine Griezmann. Starting in the midfield, the Madrilenian was completely through. Enough to convince him that the time had come to say stop.
Three weeks later, the 2018 world champion surprised everyone by announcing his international retirement. And if his good start to the season with the Colchoneros gives regret to many French supporters, and all the more so given the difficulties of the Blues, the Mâconnais has definitely turned the page.
Antoine Griezmann was behind the Jets
“ I was very proud and very surprised by all the nice messages received from supporters and people in the football world. I am very happy, I was very touched. I’m happy to have left a nice mark with the Blues. But I won’t go back. It was not an impulse, but carefully considered. It’s completely over”, he recently confided after the match against PSG.
Antoine Griezmann also seems to have completely lost interest in the France team. Usually very quick to encourage French athletes, at the Olympic Games but not only, the former Barcelona player invariably remains silent when the Blues are out. On Sunday, if he cheered for a team, it was the Jets. In New York for the weekend with his teammate Marcos Llorente, the Madrid number 7 went to MetLife Stadium to satisfy his passion for the NFL and encourage the Jets.
Disappointment was in order for Antoine Griezmann since the New York franchise lost to the wire (27-28), sinking a little further in the standings with now eight defeats in 11 matches.
