Griezmann holds record for most consecutive international appearances

The Atletico Madrid star has remained a crucial part of Les Bleus in recent years.

Antoine Griezmann has played more consecutive international matches than any other player.

The former Barcelona winger made his senior debut for France in March 2014. Since then, he has become a cornerstone of the national team’s attacking line, scoring 44 goals in his 124 international appearances.

Griezmann’s consistency has allowed him to break an all-time record in international football. According to Squawka, the Frenchman holds the record for the most consecutive appearances for a national team with 81 games.

The last time Griezmann missed a game for France was in June 2017, when Les Bleus defeated England 3-2. Over the past six years, the forward has even played in every friendly fixture for France.

Griezmann’s versatility and his consistent form in the national team have made him a cornerstone of France’s success, enabling Didier Deschamps to deploy him effectively in various positions and tactical setups.

France’s abundance of attacking talent threatened Griezmann’s place in the lineup before the 2022 World Cup. But the Atletico Madrid star turned out to be one of Les Bleus’ best players as they reached a consecutive World Cup final in Qatar.

Griezmann has scored five goals in ten matches for Atletico this season as they sit fourth on the La Liga table. After the international break, Rojiblancos will take on Celta Vigo in their next league game.
