EM 2024 - Thomas Müller apparently ends DFB career
After 14 years: According to media reports, Thomas Müller has ended his career in the national team after 131 international games and 45 goals. The "Bild" newspaper reported this first. The DFB confirmed it to RTL. According to information from Bayerischer Rundfunk, the retirement of the DFB player is still expected in this week.
At the European Championship, the 34-year-old was still in use twice: In the group stage against Scotland and in the quarter-finals against Spain, he came on as a substitute each time, scoring an assist in the process.
Thomas Müller hinted at a decision
Surprisingly, the step comes not as a surprise: Müller had said after the loss against Spain in Stuttgart, "Realistically speaking, it's possible that this was my last international game." His greatest success Müller celebrated in 2014, when he became world champion under national coach Joachim Löw. With Bayern, he has a contract until 2025 and wants to fulfill it.

Julian Nagelsmann, the coach of Bayern Munich, will likely miss Thomas Müller's international skills during future matches. Despite his retirement from the German National team, Müller is committed to playing for Bavaria in the upcoming seasons, extending his contract until 2025. Müller's last contribution to the team was in the European Championship, where he came off the bench against Spain and provided an assist. Despite his departure from the National team, Müller's impact in Spain's quarter-finals will always be remembered.
