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.
Compared to Kroos, this is an expected decision, and he is not finished with club football. It will be interesting to see what happens in a year - whether he retires from football altogether or goes to Saudi Arabia. Müller spent his entire career in Bayern, 17 years, and it seems to me that it is unlikely that he will go to play somewhere else for additional money.
It is undeniable that with the age of 35 it is clear that in the end this must be done because forcing the will to continue to be in the German national team will be increasingly difficult for Muller so it is very good for him to retire for now.
He is no longer young and Germany is one of the teams that is indeed very good and always one of the favorites when competing so it is certain that he takes into account and gives space to young players to contribute further in the upcoming state competition.
Looking at the Caps that Muller has given for Germany, if you look at the 131 Caps that he has given it seems like he is one of the players who has the most appearances in Germany because he only lost to Lothar Matthaus with 150 Caps and Klose with 137 Caps.
It's the end of a golden era where stars like him and the great Toni Kross shone at a great level , although looking at it from a more specific point of view, Muller is a player who didn't have many minutes, and he didn't do much at Bayern He had Opportunities, but I think he still needs a long way to go to be up to date with the level of demand that exists. If we compare him with a team like Leverkusen, Real Madrid, then obviously the differences are noticeable, I don't doubt his technique , but what I could see is that he was Arriving late and that is not good in football.
