“I couldn’t wait any longer. Years went by, in the end, it was always the same with the coach. If I wanted to play in international competitions, I had to make this decision," the former Athletic Bilbao defender said.

“I’m doing very well with the national team. There were some exchanges of opinion on several occasions (with Deschamps) our relationship was not the best.

“It’s over, I don’t even think about it anymore. Everyone goes their own way.”
