Muller announces retirement from Germany national team
The 34-year-old played in his eighth and last tournament in Germany’s 2-1 quarter-final defeat by eventual champions Spain.
Muller entered the game as a substitute in the 80th minute.
“It always made me very proud to play for my country,” Müller said in the video.
“We celebrated together and sometimes shed a tear together. When I had the privilege of making my first international appearance over 14 years ago, I would never have dreamed of all this.”
“I would like to say thank you to all the fans and my Germany teammates for their support over the years. Take the enthusiasm and joy of this year’s Euros with you.”
“Nobody is like Thomas Muller”
Muller helped Germany win the 2014 World Cup, and has the third most appearances for the national team with 131 caps and 45 goals.
The Bayern Munich veteran forward also claimed the Golden Boot and Young Player Award during the 2010 World Cup.
“Nobody is like Thomas Muller. His value for German football cannot be overestimated,” German national team chief Rudi Voeller said in a statement.
“Regardless of whether he’s been with Bayern or the national team for all these years, Thomas has always given every team a face, an exemplary character and a top striker.”
