The elimination of Germany meant the retirement of the 40-year-old German national team goalkeeper who was a world champion in Brazil 2014.

The most striking confession pointed to the economic situation they experienced two years before this classification. "Two years ago we didn't even have food to eat and today, thank God, we have enough to share", Ávalos said.
