Germany's football captain Philipp Lahm has bid farewell to his international career. His retirement comes just five days after he led his country to the World Cup triumph in Brazil. His career, already packed with Champions League and Bundesliga titles, culminated in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Argentina that made Lahm only the 20th World Cup winning captain. He showed off the World Cup to an estimated 5 lakh people who gave the team a heroes' welcome in Berlin on Tuesday.
