Take a look at the TOP 5 football players who will play their last FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022.

The ongoing UEFA Euro Championships might be the last appearance in this tournament for some of the top footballers in the world. At 36 years of age, Cristiano Ronaldo is still creating waves in Euro 2020 -- both on and off the field. However, Ronaldo's Portugal team is on the brink of elimination in the 'Group of Death' if his side loses their final group game against France on Wednesday (June 23) night. Croatia's Luka Modric, former teammate of Ronaldo at Real Madrid, is also in his last Euro Championships and broke a big record on Tuesday (June 22) by becoming the oldest scorer for his national side. Here we take a look at five footballers, who might be taking part in their final UEFA Euro Championships. 

Germany coach Joachim Loew, in his final tournament before stepping down after 15 years in charge, is set to include Leon Goretzka in his squad, with the midfielder having recovered from injury and having trained several times with the team.

Lewandowski guided Bayern Munich to their sixth Champions League title, finishing as the competition`s top scorer with 15 goals. The Polish striker netted 55 goals in 47 games in all competitions as Bayern won the treble. Neuer, also part of Bayern`s treble-winning squad, kept six clean sheets in the Champions League and missed just one game the entire season. City midfielder De Bruyne provided a record-equalling 20 assists in the Premier League last season, the highest in Europe.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said that the side has more talent now as compared to their Champions League winning team in 2013. The Bayern skipper made the claim following their 3-0 victory over Lyon in the Champions League semi-finals. Bayern will now take on PSG in the finals of the Champions League on Sunday, August 23.

Neuer moved to Bayern Munich from Schalke 04 in the summer of 2011.

Coman scored two goals as Bayern twice came from behind to win 3-2 but turned his ankle towards the end of the game and had to be taken off.

You`d have to whisper it quietly to South Koreans still celebrating a first World Cup win over Germany but the reality is that one crazy night in Kazan will have to paper over a lot of cracks in an otherwise undistinguished campaign.

The three matches that will be held on Day 4 are - Costa Rica vs Serbia (Group E), Germany vs Mexico (Group F) and Brazil vs Switzerland (Group E).

 The phoney war is over and most of the big guns have arrived in Russia ahead of the start of the World Cup on Thursday. AFP Sport takes a look at how the favourites are shaping up.

Attacking midfielder Leroy Sane was a surprise omission from Joachim Loew`s final Germany squad for the World Cup finals on Monday as goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was named among the 23 players heading to Russia for the defending champions.

Germany`s football federation DFB on Wednesday announced that each of their 2018 World Cup players will get a bonus of 350,000 euros ($410,847) if they manage to defend their title in Russia.

Bayern Munich shot-stopper Neuer, 31, is not expected back until January at the earliest after injuring himself in September when he fractured his left foot for the second time this year.

The 31-year-old had only returned at the end of August after fracturing the same foot in April. He suffered the fresh injury in training on Monday as Bayern prepared for Tuesday's Bundesliga match at Schalke.

With no Mueller or Gomez around, RB Leipzig`s Timo Werner, the Bundesliga`s top-scoring German forward last season with 21 goals, and Hoffenheim`s burly striker Sandro Wagner will have their chance to shine.

The Bayern goalkeeper sustained the injury during Cristiano Ronaldo's third goal during extra-time of the Champions League clash.

Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti will also be without injured Javi Martinez, Arturo Vidal and Kingsley Coman for Wednesday`s Group D encounter.
