Thomas Müller, Germany's veteran forward, was overcome with emotion as his team's tournament dreams were shattered.
It was a dramatic evening in the Euro 2024 championships saw Germany's campaign come to a heart-wrenching end, as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Spain in the round of 16.
The highly anticipated match lived up to its billing, with both teams creating scoring opportunities in a frenetic contest. Spain's Dani Olmo opened the scoring in the 51st minute, only for Florian Wirtz to level for Germany in the 89th minute. However, Spain's Mikel Merino scored a devastating header in extra time, securing a 2-1 victory and sending Germany crashing out of the competition.
Müller was visibly distraught as the final whistle sounded. The 34-year-old, who has been instrumental in Germany's success in recent years, was unable to contain his emotions as he contemplated the end of his team's Euro 2024 journey.
Meanwhile Spain's win sets up a semi-final showdown with either France or Portugal, while Germany must ponder what might have been.
