Paris: France's all-time leading goalscorer Olivier Giroud confirmed his international retirement on Monday, calling time on a career that saw him score 57 goals in 137 appearances.
"The long-dreaded moment has arrived: the moment of saying goodbye to the French national team," Giroud wrote on Instagram.
"We've become an inseparable band of mates under the watchful eye of one man: the coach, Didier Deschamps, whom I thank for his trust. Despite our ups and downs, he has enabled me to become Les Bleus' all-time top scorer."
"The France team I served for 13 years will always be engraved in my heart. It is my greatest pride and my fondest memory," added the 37-year-old.
Over the course of his international career, Giroud won the World Cup in 2018 and was also a World Cup and European Championship runner-up.
