The announcement of Antoine Griezmann’s international retirement this Monday leaves many observers in shock.
Emblematic player of the France team for ten years, Antoine Griezmann has decided to retire internationally according to the official announcement made this Monday, to everyone’s surprise.

“We disrespected him”
