\"Today, with profound emotion, I announce my retirement as a France national team player,\" Griezmann said. \"After ten incredible years marked by challenges, successes and unforgettable moments, it\'s time for me to turn the page and make room for the new generation.
\"Wearing this shirt has been an honour and a privilege ... I leave the France national team with a sense of pride and gratitude. I had the honour of representing our country, and the chance to experience extraordinary moments, like becoming a world champion.
\"I\'ll continue to follow Les Bleus with passion. I\'m convinced that the future is bright and I can\'t wait to see the next generation shine.\"
