Manuel Neuer has announced his retirement from the German national team for the second time. This announcement came following Germany’s exit at the hands of Paraguay in a penalty shootout.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper expressed his disappointment about how his international career concluded: “It’s very painful that it ended like this.”
Neuer endured a difficult World Cup, conceding goals in every match and ultimately losing in the decisive penalty shootout.
It is worth noting that Neuer had returned specifically for the World Cup, with Julian Nagelsmann assuring him a starting position in the lineup.
