The world of football has been shaken by the news of Toni Kroos’ goodbye. The German player, through an emotional message on Instagram, has announced that he will hang up his boots once Euro 2024 ends.
Kroos has only two official matches left with him real Madrid: the last day of the League against Betis at the Bernabéu and the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. In addition, he will return to the German team, from which he had retired, to play his last intercontinental tournament.
The news has caused a great commotion in the world of football. Social networks have been filled with messages of affection and admiration for the German player, with Twitter as the platform where the fans have expressed themselves the most.
Many players, journalists and fans have wanted to pay tribute to Kroos. His technical quality, his vision of the game, his tactical intelligence and his ability to read the game like few others have stood out.
Without a doubt, Toni Kroos has been one of the best midfielders of his generation. He has won practically everything there is to win in football, and has left a legacy that will last over time. His retirement will be a great loss for football, but also an opportunity to enjoy his last games and to remember one of the greatest players in history.
In the coming days, it is expected that there will be more reactions and tributes to Kroos. Without a doubt, the German player’s farewell will be a sad moment for football, but also a moment to celebrate a brilliant and successful career.
If he has a great Euro Cup and wins the Champions League, Toni Kroos could perfectly well become the first footballer to receive the retired Ballon d’Or. He would be a well-deserved culmination.
As another great like Zidane did, he retired at the top. Absolute genius.— Julio Maldonado (@MundoMaldini) May 21, 2024
You have to be very good to give one of your best levels at 34 years old and you have to be very special to retire from football in those circumstances. Kroos is all of this and I suppose he has understood that a UCL final and a Euro in Germany is the perfect culmination of his career.

In a football that is increasingly devoid of genius, a German who drew his passes dressed in a white tuxedo is hanging up his boots.
