German football legend Thomas Müller, 34, has hung up his international boots following Germany’s quarterfinal exit at Euro 2024. The veteran forward announced his retirement Monday, closing a glittering 14-year chapter with the national team. 🏆
Müller’s legacy? A whopping 131 caps (third-highest in German history) and 45 goals, tying Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. His journey began in 2010 with a World Cup debut goal against Australia, followed by Golden Boot honors and a Young Player Award. Four years later, his five goals powered Germany to World Cup glory in Brazil. 🚀⚽
At Euro 2024, Müller’s final act came as an 80th-minute substitute during Germany’s loss to Spain. “Nobody is like Thomas Müller,” said national team director Rudi Völler, praising his “unpredictable” style and leadership. Coach Julian Nagelsmann called him a “role model” who “enriched” the squad.
While Müller’s Bayern Munich contract runs until 2025, his international era ends here. Fans worldwide are saluting a player who redefined passion on the pitch. 👏 #DankeThomas
