Müller, who experienced a big win and bitter loss for the national team, said "Sometimes I was in despair, but I got back on my feet. I shared my time with my fantastic teammates who competed with the best players in the world and shared many unforgettable moments. I was always proud to represent my country. I want to thank everyone. Now I'm going to be a fan of Germany in the stands. Bye now!," he said goodbye.
