Manuel Neuer's national team career has once again — and this time likely definitively — come to an end.

"Yes," the German goalkeeper replied to "ARD" when asked if the World Cup round of 16 match was his last international game.

For the DFB team, led by the 40-year-old goalie, the finals ended in a penalty shootout against Paraguay.

Neuer had returned to the national team for the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, after announcing his retirement following the home European Championship in 2024.

Now, Neuer's DFB departure appears to be definitive.
