High performers and goalscorers, they also had special means of being distinguished. Kylian Mbappé had the armband and Antoine Griezmann his pink haircut. Even ghostly, the Atlético Madrid player would never have been unnoticed on the lawn of the Stade de France. Its coloring is easily noticed and has almost become its trademark. Griezmann has been wearing it since his return from the World Cup at the end of 2022.

« It was played between blue and pink. I have three girls at home (his wife and two children) and we are only two boys (his son and him), we voted and pink won. […] With my haircuts, that’s how you can see if I’m happy or not. Since childhood, it has always been like this, the look, the colors… “, he confided in an interview. However, he did not need it to see life in pink at the moment, as evidenced by his good performances in club as in the French team.
