Germany’s golden oldies gelling well with youngsters as Euro’s oldest team chase title glory
-
With a combined age of 106, Germany's three remaining 2014 World Cup winners Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos are leading the hosts' charge for Euro 2024 glory.
Friends off the pitch, they are the only players in the 26-man squad to have each played over 100 international games.
The Germans are hoping their blend of youth and experience can sustain a title challenge when they take on Hungary in Stuttgart on June 19, with the Hungarians eager to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Switzerland.
Since a semi-final elimination by France at Euro 2016, Germany have struggled at major tournaments, with two World Cup group-stage exits bookending a last-16 elimination by England at the delayed Euro in 2021.
But after a 5-1 romp against Scotland in their Group A tournament opener, the veteran trio will be hoping for a successful last dance on home soil.
Neuer, 38, is two years older than coach Julian Nagelsmann. Kroos and Muller are both 34.
