German defender Antonio Rüdiger announced, this Tuesday, his farewell from the Germany national team. The player is 33 years old and represented the country for the last time at the 2026 World Cup.

Rüdiger explained that he is focused on his work in Spain, where he plays for Real Madrid. The German center-back is currently playing in the Spanish league under the command of José Mourinho.

This decision marks the end of an important chapter in Rüdiger's international career, as he wore the German national team jersey for several years. The defender thus leaves the national team after a distinguished career in service of the country.

Besides Flamengo's Plata, Matheus Martins fails medical exams at Dynamo Moscow and returns to Botafogo

Besides Flamengo's Gonzalo Plata, Botafogo's forward Matheus Martins also failed the medical exams at Dynamo Moscow and will no longer be signed by the Russian club. The deal, closed weeks ago between the clubs, was worth 7 million euros upfront plus 1 million euros in bonuses. Botafogo found the situation strange, as it was similar to what their rival red-and-black team experienced, and strongly disagreed with the Russian diagnosis, since the player had been playing normally in matches. The club made its medical department available and has recent records of the exams performed. The black-and-white club is studying appropriate measures, including suing Dynamo Moscow for improperly using the player's image at the airport and in the Russian press. Matheus Martins remains in Russia accompanied by his agent.
