Manuel Neuer has called time on his international career with Germany following their quarterfinal exit at the 2024 European Championship.

Neuer, 38, won the World Cup with Germany in 2014.

The goalkeeper made his international debut for Die Mannschaft in 2009 and went on to make 124 appearances, featuring at four World Cups and four European Championships.

In a statement on social media the Germany national team said: “For one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, all words seem too small. But they come from the heart: Thank you, Manu!

“Of course for your unique, outstanding successes. But especially for your camaraderie, your dedication, your inspiration for teammates and millions of fans and footballers all over the world. You changed the game of goalkeeping, you shaped it. Just like this team. Your team. As a support. As a captain. As a role model. As a world champion. As a friend. We will miss you!”

Neuer follows Toni Kroos, Thomas Müller and Ilkay Gündogan in retiring from Germany duty in recent months.
