During Atlético de Madrid’s 4–2 victory over Espanyol, Antoine Griezmann reached a symbolic milestone with the club. A perfect occasion to celebrate with a brand-new hairstyle.
At 34 years old, the French forward played his 552nd match in one of Europe’s five major leagues in the 21st century, becoming the most capped French outfield player ahead of Karim Benzema (551). A remarkable achievement reached at a crucial moment for Atlético, who remain in contention for a top-three finish in La Liga and continue to rely heavily on Griezmann’s influence in Diego Simeone’s system.
A Blue Hint Toward the French National Team?
The noticeable detail: the striker dyed his hair blue. A simple whim… or a subtle message aimed at Didier Deschamps with the World Cup approaching? The color choice leaves room for speculation, and “Grizou” surely knew that such a bold change would spark discussion.

Could this hint at one last dance with France this summer at the World Cup in the United States? Griezmann has yet to officially announce his international retirement, unlike Olivier Giroud. Fans also remember N’Golo Kanté’s surprise return for the last European Championship. Still, competition up front will be fierce. With Mbappé, Olise, Barcola, Doué, Dembélé, Thuram, and Ekitike all vying for attacking spots, earning a place will be anything but easy.
