Karim Benzema has announced his retirement from international football after failing to return to the French squad at the recently concluded World Cup.The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner mentioned this in a tweet stating “I made the efforts and the mistakes it took to get to where I am today and I’m proud of that! I have written my own story and our story is ending.”There have been numerous reports that the French striker is unhappy with Germany’s coach Didier Deschamps’ decision not to include him in the World Cup squad, even though he is in shape again.Apparently Benzema also turned down an invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron to play in the 2022 World Cup final.
