Germany legend Thomas Muller retires from international football

The 34-year-old featured in his eighth and last tournament on July 5, in Germany's 2-1 quarter-final defeat by Spain, where he was brought on as a substitute in the 80th minute.

Muller helped Germany win the 2014 World Cup and has the third most appearances for the national team with 131 caps and 45 goals. He also won the Golden Boot and Young Player Award during the 2010 World Cup, when Germany finished third.

"It always made me very proud to play for my country. We celebrated together and sometimes shed a tear together," Muller said in a farewell video on social media.
