Antoine Griezmann, the French football champion, reveals why he dyed his hair pink

He remains one of the best players in the French national team for almost a decade now. Antoine Griezmann, a true soldier of Didier Deschamps, was an important element during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. After the painful failure in the final, the former Barcelona player returned to his club Atlético Madrid with a new haircut that is unusual, to say the least.

Antoine Griezmann and his new pink hair

Antoine Griezmann is both an engaging player and personality and has been a member of the French national team since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Regularly ranked among the favourite sportspeople of France, the Atlético Madrid striker likes to put on a show.

This was demonstrated by his wonderful imitation of his coach, Didier Deschamps. The public has also been able to discover his brand-new haircut. Indeed, after the final against Argentina, the Colchonero needed a change and revealed himself with fuchsia pink dyed hair. A visual treat.

Griezmann reveals the crazy reason

While the reactions of fans are mixed, it must be admitted that his new hairstyle has an advantage — his teammates can easily find him on the pitch. But in fact, is there a reason for this choice of colour? Yes, according to the player himself, who spoke to Marca about the subject:

With my haircuts, that's how you can tell if I'm happy or not. Since I was a kid, it's always been like that, the look, the colours... It was between blue and pink. I have three girls at home and we are only two boys, we voted and pink won.

So, a family vote seems to be the cause!
