Germany's all-time leading scorer and the top marksman in FIFA World Cup history, Miroslav Klose has announced his international retirement.
Klose, 36, scored 71 goals in 137 appearances and found the net 16 times in World Cups, including twice during his country's triumphant campaign in Brazil earlier this summer. "Winning the title in Brazil was a childhood dream come true," he said. "I am proud and happy to have been part of this success. For me, there can be no moment more beautiful to end this chapter." Only the 150-cap Lothar Matthäus has played more games for the Nationalmannschaft.
