“It won’t be for Kroos, although anything can happen because there are very important competitions in the summer. Germany, with Kroos, is a team that has a chance of winning the Euro Cup. If it is able to do the Euro Cup and Champions League double, including LaLiga, Why not? I think he can fight to win it, Ancelotti said.
Once again, Toni Kroos is running a sensational campaign. The German is indisputable in Ancelotti’s starting eleven and is the director of Real Madrid’s midfield and game.

As we say, the white team is already LaLiga champion and has reached the Champions League final, being just one step away from adding the fifteenth. And in a year where there is the Euro Cup and the Copa América, the German should not be ruled out for the individual awards, although we will have to see how far the German team is capable of going in this Euro.
Kroos’ importance is such that Madrid fans have asked him to renew his contract, which ends on June 30. Ancelotti also spoke about the German’s future, although in this case he did not get involved.
“The club is not restless, I am not restless, Toni is not restless. We have a very clear objective, that until June 1 this is a secondary issue. Those interested will talk about this, but we are all thinking about only one thing, which is to win the ‘Champions’,” he said in reference to Kroos and Modric.
At 34 years old, this is Toni’s tenth season at Real Madrid. To date he has won 22 titles with Real Madrid, and has played 463 games in which he has scored 28 goals and distributed 100 assists.
