The exit from the European Championship was the last thing Thomas Müller did in the German national team jersey.
On Monday, the 34-year-old confirmed that he is quitting the national team.
I have always been proud to represent my country, says Müller.
Thomas Müller has been a pillar in the German national team for a long time. As early as March 3, 2010, the Bayern Munich profile made his debut in "Die Mannschaft".
When I got to play my first national team match over 14 years ago, I could never have dreamed of this. I got to play four World Championships and four European Championships, lift the World Cup trophy, and have always felt your love out there on the pitch, says Müller in a video greeting on Youtube.
When the team won the World Championship gold in 2014, the German was one of the team's best players, and finished with five goals and three assists.
We have celebrated together, and sometimes even cried. I want to thank all the fans and teammates in the national team. Keep your fingers crossed for the team during the qualifying for the 2026 World Championship, I will do that too. Now as a supporter and no longer on the pitch. See you, he concludes.
During the European Championship on home soil, he got less playing time. The German had to settle for two substitute appearances and a total of 56 minutes of playing time.
In total, it was 45 goals in 131 national team matches for Müller.
Toni Kroos also said goodbye after the European Championship exit, but quit football altogether.
