Antoine Griezmann has surprised the football world by announcing his retirement from the French national team, leaving behind a brilliant international career that includes a World Cup triumph in 2018. However, behind the farewell of one of the most iconic footballers of recent times with the French shirt, there is a reason that goes beyond the emotional: Griezmann wants to focus exclusively on what will be his last season with Atlético de Madrid, before embarking on a new adventure in MLS.

The Atlético striker, 33, has been one of the most influential players of the last decade for the French national team, and his retirement marks the end of an era. In his statement, published on his social media, Griezmann expressed the profound impact his time with the national team has had, which he joined in 2014 under the orders of Didier Deschamps. His debut, in a friendly against the Netherlands, was just the beginning of a decade full of successes and challenges, in which he amassed a total of 137 matches, 44 goals, and 33 assists.

The real reason behind Griezmann's retirement from France

What has truly motivated Griezmann to make this decision, beyond emotions and memories, is his plan for the future. At the end of the current season with Atlético de Madrid, he plans to make the leap to MLS, a league that has grown in popularity in recent years and has attracted big names from European football. Griezmann knows that to successfully face this career change, he needs to fully dedicate himself to his club and avoid the strain of juggling international commitments. Additionally, the forward desires to leave an indelible mark in his final season with the colchonero team.

Thus, Antoine Griezmann's farewell from the French national team, although unexpected, is understood as a strategic and thoughtful decision. His ambition to maintain a high level in his last stage with Atlético and prepare for the next chapter of his career in MLS has marked the end of a glorious era with "Les Bleus".
