Football: Manuel Neuer prend sa retraite avec la sélection allemande
Manuel Neuer will no longer wear the German national team jersey. The iconic Bayern Munich goalkeeper confirmed his international retirement after Germany's elimination in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, losing on penalties to Paraguay (1-1, 3-2 on penalties).
When asked by the ARD network about the end of his time with the national team, the 40-year-old goalkeeper simply replied "yes," bringing to a close a long and illustrious international career with 125 caps. He is the fifth most-capped player in the history of the German national team, a career crowned by their 2014 World Cup victory.
This disappointment adds to a long and disappointing run in the World Cup for Germany, who were eliminated in the group stage in 2018 and 2022. This time, having qualified for the final stages, the German team, despite being favorites against Julio Encíso's Paraguayans, failed to make the difference, losing in the round of 16 in the dreaded penalty shootout.
