On June 30th, in the FIFA World Cup round of 16, Paraguay eliminated Germany in a penalty shootout. German legend Muller criticized the team's performance.

On Havertz and Tah missing penalties in the shootout against Paraguay

Muller: This is absolutely unacceptable. When wearing the German national team jersey and stepping up to the penalty spot in a FIFA World Cup shootout, there should be no fear, and certainly no hesitation. Havertz and Tah had the chance to keep the entire nation's hopes alive, but they faltered at the most crucial moment of this tournament.

Losing a penalty shootout is never due to bad luck, but because someone failed to perform their task under pressure. The German team entrusted them with the two most important penalties of the match, yet they handed over the biggest opportunity in Paraguayan football history to their opponents.

I don't want to hear any excuses about pressure or nervousness. Every player dreams of wearing the German national team jersey, but this honor also comes with great responsibility. If you are not ready for such a moment, then you should not be standing at the penalty spot.

They let down their teammates, the coaching staff, and the millions of German fans who continued to believe in the team until the very last penalty kick. Such moments will stay with players for life, and unfortunately, they will be remembered for this.

Congratulations to Paraguay, who showed courage when it was most needed. The German team, however, lacked the mental fortitude expected of a championship team. These two missed penalties will haunt this team for a long time. "
