Müller announced that he is retiring from the Germany team, after the elimination in Qatar 2022

The German team had an opaque performance during the Qatar 2022 World Cup and was eliminated in the group stage, a situation similar to what happened in Russia 2018. After the negative participation was completed, Thomas Müller, one of the most experienced players on the squad, announced who withdraws from the ‘Teutón’ group.

This Thursday, the team led by coach Hansi Flick defeated Costa Rica 4-2, but was left with the worst goal difference compared to Spain – who lost against Japan (1-2) – and only reached third place. After the final whistle at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, the members of the four-time world champion expressed deep regret.

Thomas Müller was one of the most affected, perhaps giving signs of the news that he was preparing to reveal to the media. In a press conference, the 33-year-old midfielder confessed that he played his last game with the German team.

“We have had great moments. I tried to keep my heart on the pitch in every game”, explained the Bayern Munich footballer. Let’s remember that the talented player was world champion with Germany in Brazil 2014, after beating Argentina in the final, with a goal from Mario Götze, in the agony of extra time.

In the same way, Thomas Müller became one of the greatest scorers in the history of the World Cup: he had scored 10 goals since his debut in South Africa in 2010. However, the attacker has not celebrated since the title was won. , despite participating in three matches in Russia 2018 and another three in Qatar 2022.
