Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann considered international retirement after being overlooked for the France captaincy.

PSG star Kylian Mbappe was named Les Bleus captain this week.

AS says Griezmann saw himself at Euro 2024 wearing the armband; Didier Deschamps' decision has come as a huge blow for the forward, to such an extent that he even considered international retirement on the spot.

The player sees it as unfair that he has not received the honour, which, on merit, he deserves.

The highest assist provider in the history of Les Bleus, taking over Thierry Henry, Griezmann now wants to turn over a new leaf, despite the fact that Deschamps' decision is going to lead to a long and drawn-out debate in France.

Mbappé will wear the armband, although his relationship with Griezmann is great. On Tuesday, one day after the news, both players were seen smiling with each other, fully in the knowledge that a strong team is built on strong relationships.
