Elsewhere, Thomas Muller has announced his retirement from the German national team and this year's Euro will be the last event he will participate in. It doesn't feel like he has been a mainstay for the German national team at international level, but in the last competition he took part in he started to decline and we rarely see him starting. Despite all that, he will still play football with Bayern Munich next season and his contract will end in 2025.
That is the ideal time for Muller and it is also quite reasonable because his current age is not too old but he realizes that regeneration for the national team is necessary.
The caps he has recorded for the German National Team have been very good even he is also one of the players who brought Germany to the world cup in 2014 so it is not wrong that he decided to leave the current squad.
He is aware that there are several potential young players who are more able to contribute well such as Musiala or Wirts who can be placed in the position he currently has and Muller has enough to be in the German national team because from 2010 to 2024 it is enough to make him a legend in the German midfield.
In the end, this Euro seems to be a farewell for several star players in several countries because it is possible that after Kroos and Muller there will be several players who are considered old like Pepe or Cristiano who decide to follow in their footsteps to retire from the national team.
