Beijing time on June 1, according to RMC Sport, Antoine Griezmann will not be called up to the French Olympic team for the Olympics and will only participate in the Euro with the national team.
Previously, Griezmann expressed his desire to represent the French Olympic team at this summer’s Paris Olympics. For the 33-year-old, participating in both the Euros and the Olympics would have been too much for Atlético Madrid to handle.
As of now, as reported by RMC Sport, Griezmann will not be part of the French Olympic squad for the Paris Games and will only need to focus on the Euro. With the reform of the UEFA Champions League next season, Atlético will face increased pressure in their multi-tournament campaign. Griezmann’s absence from the Olympics allows him to join the team’s pre-season training, laying a solid foundation for the new season.
In the 2023-24 season, Griezmann featured in 48 matches for Atlético, scoring 24 goals and providing 8 assists, demonstrating impressive form. In this summer’s Euro, France aims for the title, and Griezmann will continue to play a crucial role.
