The legend is gone. Manuel Neuer has officially retired from international football following Germany’s heart-wrenching 2026 World Cup exit against Paraguay. A penalty shootout defeat marked the bitter end for Germany’s last 2014 icon. Despite a heroic save, the veteran goalkeeper couldn’t save his team. An era closes, leaving a massive void in the German squad. The golden generation officially vanishes.
