“We are all still so disappointed. We had big plans, but we failed,” Gundogan stated on Instagram.

“I’m proud to have played for the 1st time for Germany at a World Cup, but to exit in the group stage is nothing but frustrating.

“We have to get up again for the challenges after the summer break – and we will.”
