  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Muller was included in the Germany squad for Euro 2024 on home soil but only played 56 minutes of football across two appearances, although he did get an assist on the opening night against Scotland. His final cap came as a substitute in the quarter-final defeat to Spain as the hosts bowed out after extra-time.

  Muller helped Germany to win the 2014 World Cup, scoring five goals along the way, and was also the Golden Boot winner at the previous tournament in South Africa four years earlier.
