Thomas Muller Ends International Career With Germany Post-Euro 2024

Thomas Muller has announced his retirement from international football after the conclusion of Euro 2024. The German forward, who played for Germany 131 times over 14 years, made this announcement via social media. He shared a video showcasing his best moments in a Germany shirt and expressed gratitude to fans for their support.

Muller had a limited role in Germany's home tournament, playing only 58 minutes off the bench. He participated in their group-stage win against Scotland and their quarter-final loss to Spain. Despite his reduced involvement, Muller's career with the national team remains illustrious.

Muller scored 45 goals for Germany and won the Golden Boot at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Four years later, he was instrumental in Germany's 2014 World Cup victory, scoring five goals, including a hat-trick against Portugal and a goal in the famous 7-1 semi-final win over Brazil.

The German Football Association (DFB) paid tribute to Muller by posting a montage of his best moments on X. The caption read: "Unique on and off the pitch! We will miss you Thank you for everything!" This sentiment reflects the high regard in which Muller is held within German football circles.

Muller's retirement follows closely on the heels of Toni Kroos' decision to retire from all forms of football after Euro 2024. Both players have left an indelible mark on German football and will be remembered as legends of their era.

One day after Spain's final victory over England marked the end of Euro 2024, Muller took to social media to announce his decision. His message read: "Hello, thank you very much for your fantastic support during my time with Germany." This heartfelt note accompanied a video highlighting his career achievements.

Muller turns 35 in September and leaves behind a legacy that includes numerous memorable moments and significant contributions to Germany's success on the international stage. His departure marks the end of an era for German football fans who have followed his journey since his debut.
