Mbappé, Griezmann’s beautiful gesture

After ten years of good and loyal service to the French team, Antoine Griezmann decided to put an end to his history with the Blues last September. If the announcement of his decision had the effect of a bomb, it was “carefully considered” on the part of the Mâconnais, who does not intend to reverse his choice.

Concerning the reasons for the departure of “Grizou”, several theses have been put forward in the media.
Like his relationship with Didier Deschamps which would have cooled significantly during Euro 2024 or even his disappointment at not having inherited the captain's armband after the 2022 World Cup. Which would have deteriorated his relationship with Kylian Mbappé.

Griezmann places Mbappé at the top of his Top 10

But obviously, Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé would not be that much at odds. Invited to make his Top 10 of the best players, the Atlético Madrid striker placed the former Parisian at the top. All in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah, Lamine Yamal and even Ronaldo the Brazilian.

Following the announcement of his international retirement, Griezmann received a nice tribute on Instagram from the number 9 of Real Madrid. “ Wearing this jersey always demands more without sometimes bringing the recognition that goes with it, Mbappé wrote. You will forever remain in the history of the France team. And I will never forget the honor and pleasure it was to play alongside you for so many years. I never trivialized it. »
