After the victory at Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann confirmed that he was not available to be called up for the Nations League matches against Israel and Italy and that his adventure with the French national team has definitely ended. Surprisingly, the footballer born in ’91 with 137 appearances for the blues announced his retirement from the French national team on 30 September. And he has no intention of going back: “I am very proud and very surprised by all the nice messages I have received from fans or people from the world of football – he told ‘Canal Plus’ -. I am very happy for these beautiful messages, they touched me, I’m happy to have left this beautiful mark. But it’s completely over, I’m not going back, it wasn’t a whim.”
Griezmann was on the pitch against Italy at the Parc des Princes last September like Kylian Mbappè, another player who will not be on the pitch at San Siro against Italy on Sunday 17 November: for the second time in a row, in fact, Didier Deschamps decided to exclude him from the list of players called up.
