The decision of the coach of France, Didier Deschamps, to award the captain's armband to Kylian Mbappe fell hard on Antoine Griezmann, who is even considering retiring from the national team.
After the retirement of the long-time captain, Hugo Lloris, France was left without a captain. Dešan chose between Mbappe and Griezmann and decided on the PSŽ player.
Griezmann dreamed of leading the "tricolor" team at the upcoming European Championship in Germany with the captain's armband around his arm. He is one of the most experienced players in the national team, and in the current squad, only Olivier Giroud has played more games than Atlético players.
