Mathieu made his international debut for France in 2011 and went on to earn 30 caps for the national team. He was selected for the squad to represent France at UEFA Euro 2016 but unfortunately dropped out due to injury.
Throughout his career, Mathieu has won several honors, including the Coupe de la Ligue with Sochaux in 2004 and the treble with Barcelona in 2015.
