The match between Germany and Spain was the end of Toni Kroos’s career in the world of football, after Germany lost 2-1 in extra time.
But it seems that there are victims of the match other than him as well, as two of Germany’s historic stars are considering retiring from international football.
The talk here is about Thomas Muller, who clearly said after the match that it was most likely his last match in the German national team shirt.
The second name is the national team captain, Ilkay Gundogan, who told the media that he will need a few days to make his final decision on whether or not to retire from international football.
Mueller, 34 years old, fought. He played 130 international matches with Germany, during which he scored 45 goals. He was also part of the roster that culminated in the 2014 World Cup.
As for 33-year-old Gundogan, he began his international career in 2011 and played 81 international matches, during which he scored 19 goals.
