Jerome Boateng issues response after Germany career ended by Joachim Loew

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng admits he would still like one more match for Germany.

This was after being unceremoniously dumped by Jogi Loew, along with Thomas Muller and Matt Hummels.

The trio were part of the 2014 World Cup-winning side.

But after last summer’s horrendous World Cup - in which Die Mannschaft suffered its worst showing in 80 years - Loew is seeking to take the side into a new era.

Boateng has taken to social media to state that he sympathises with his manager’s decision.

But the 76-cap, 30-year-old also stated his desire for a finale with the national team.

"Joachim Low informed me today in a sincere conversation that I will not continue to be part of the DFB team, he would like to offer young players the stage for the future and a new face especially with regard to the upcoming tournaments of the team.

"I was young myself and reliant on older players making way for me. Personally, I am convinced that I can continue to play at the highest level and will continue to show that in the future. I will always look back on the time in the DFB team with great pleasure.

"I have always been extremely proud to be able to wear the national team jersey and will never forget the summer of 2014. Still, of course, I would have liked to see another farewell for us.

"Good luck of the team for the future!
