Antoine Griezmann creates record for most consecutive international appearances

Antoine Griezmann remains an undisputed starter under Deschamps

Not missing one match due to an injury, a ban, or even just rest, Antoine Griezmann has participated in all 81 of France's most recent contests. It's the longest run of games in a row in the annals of international football. The last occasion the France squad competed without the indispensable number 7 was in Nantes, against Cameroon, in May 2016.

Griezmann, who had participated in the Champions League final two days prior, was properly kept out of the first Euro preparation meeting.

Bacary Sagna, Patric Evra, a Pogba-Diarra-Matuidi combination, Dimitri Payet, and Kingsley Coman were positioned around Olivier Giroud in the Blues lineup.

After that, Antoine Griezmann has never been hurt, benched, or kept by Deschamps. Both the most significant matches and those with lower prizes have always employed it.

To put things in perspective, Manuel Amoros held the record for the most choices for the French team up until the France 98 generation with 82. Griezmann could accomplish the same feat while not skipping a single game.

The Madrilenian will mark his 124th selection and is steadily approaching Hugo Lloris' record of 145 appearances. He ranks third in scoring (44 points), and is unofficially the best passer (28 to 36 passes, depending on the source). you mentioned a legend.

Didier Deschamps, the head coach of France, recently stated

"Antoine, he has something additional as well, he has always been a very important player, I have always kept my confidence in him during much more difficult periods for him."

"Antoine, with what he does on the pitch, he is a key pillar in the sense of being the motor. He was and he will remain so in the future."
