The midfielder said lifting the trophy in the Maracana following Sunday's 1-0 triumph over Argentina will give his team-mates the "hunger" to claim more glory.

Germany savoured their first World Cup success since 1990 - and their first international win since Euro 96 - when Mario Gotze dispatched a brilliant volley in the 113rd minute of the final.

After the near-misses of recent tournaments, Bayern Munich star Schweinsteiger claimed the breakthrough victory can provide a pathway to future triumphs with Euro 2016 next in his sights.

"It will give us hunger, absolutely. We want to do it again at the next tournament. The important thing is that the young guys have the experience of this tournament," he said.

"We have some players who have a big future and the Spain team and the Brazilian team changed a little bit. We believe we are now the No1 team in the world. We have to enjoy this moment and not talk about the future too much. "Every title is important. I'm happy that we won this title with the guys. Since the tournament was held in Germany in 2006, we always go as far as the semi-final, finish third place or reach the final in 2008 but lose. "Now we have taken one step more and that is the most important thing for the whole of this squad." Berlin will host a civic reception for Joachim Low's victorious squad today.
