Neuer Hangs Up Gloves After Paraguay Penalty Shock

Germany captain Manuel Neuer, 40, has announced his retirement from international football following a stunning World Cup exit to Paraguay. Neuer initially called time on his Germany career after Euro 2024 but made a surprise return for this tournament. He could not prevent Monday’s 4-3 penalty loss after their 1-1 draw. The match was Neuer’s 128th cap, leaving him just behind Lukas Podolski, Thomas Müller, Miroslav Klose and Lothar Matthäus on Germany’s all-time appearance list. Paraguay now advance to face the winner of France vs Sweden in the next round.
