Antonio Rüdiger withdraws from the German national team

Antonio Rüdiger has announced that he is ending his career with the national team of Germany, after 12 years in which he has made 86 appearances and scored three goals, the last one in October 2023.

The decision came after a careful analysis of the situation, especially after the last World Cup. Rüdiger believes that Germany needs to focus on the future, promoting young footballers to build a new team under the leadership of Jürgen Klopp.

At 33 years old, the defender wants to prioritize his physical preparation and respond to the demands of the club Real Madrid, where he enjoys a harmonious collaboration with coach José Mourinho.

Rüdiger is confident that the new project of the team will bring many trophies.
