He then announced his retirement, saying, “Now after months of contemplation, I have decided that it is the right time to retire from the French national soccer team.”

Varane also said, “I will never forget the moment I won the World Cup. It was one of the most amazing and memorable moments of my life,” he recalled.

Raphael Varane finally announced the generation change of French football, saying, “It’s time for a new generation to come forward,” adding, “There are many talented young players in France.”

Varane has made three World Cup appearances in the past decade. It also helped France win the 2018 World Cup in Russia for the first time in 20 years.

Varane, then a member of Real Madrid, won both the World Cup and the UEFA Champions League in the same year. Varane also scored five goals in 93 A matches.

Now Varane is going to focus on the club game. Varane played for Real Madrid from 2011 to 2021, and now belongs to Manchester United.
