Yeah. Cryuff, Xavi, Pep, every playet to have played almost has no bad words about him. I see some fans underrating him. I was trying to figure out why. I think it's because he doesn't do take ons as much and that entertainment factor of dribbling. But he does his job so wonderfully. With precision. Every Real Madrid fan realises the void this is. Toni Kroos is often like salt in a dish I feel. When the dish is great, people don't praise it above other ingredients, but when it's not there you immediately notice what's missing! Such a legend.

I hate the fact that this is such a lazy take. Kroos has been so clear about his plans and how he sees life post football. A quick google and some podcast episodes would have given y’all much more depth. Kroos loved the game but never wanted to be one of those guys in the bench or in a lower level team. He can’t deal with incompetence and he demands so much from himself and everyone around him. For those that know he literally stopped with the German team because of how bad the coaching and level was, and prolonged time with family and Madrid. Now he’s going to retire a legend , he just opened his football academy for boys and girls in Madrid. Clearly Kroos has a well established path post playing days.

Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Malo Gusto, Pedro Lima Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro, Dean Huijsen Main Striker: Kylian Mbappe Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027.

Toni Kroos is humble and don't talk much, like Sergio Busquets, with calm, he went on to become world champion and club icon.

Toni Kroos is a midfield maestro one of the best number 8s we’ve ever seen. Imagine tell your kids that a guy who wasn’t the most skillful fastest or strongest player dominated football and won almost everything for club and country. He’s a serial winner and has won trophies consistently whether it’s with Real Madrid Bayern Munich or the Germany national team and his trophy cabinet many players dream of having it. He was part of a Bayern Munich team that won the treble in the 2012-13 season, he helped Germany win the World Cup in 2014 and while at Real Madrid everyone talks about Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale as players who are pivotal in them conquering European football, Kroos helped them win many champions league titles. His style of play catches the eye. He’s not known for his dribbling or skills, he’s a deep lying playmaker who impacts the game in unparalleled ways. He’s never been a flashy player but the way he plays is just something else. He understands the basic components of football and that’s because he’s so intelligent has that ice cold composure and technique, very good on the ball and has an unlimited range of passing that many players cannot replicate. Even though it seems like he’s always playing sideways passes, at least every time he passes the ball and has possession, he always make the right decision, you can’t say that about a lot of midfielders who have better numbers than him. One of the biggest problems in modern football is people who only obsess over stats as the only thing that fans care about is goals and assists nothing else. In my opinion, we need to move beyond this whole “stat driven culture” and appreciate players who influence the game like Kroos does even if his stats weren’t always dominate. Real Madrid is going to miss him a lot simply because he’s a special player who is irreplaceable in his own way.

11:26 Lmfao even Dan was surprised that everyone was nice 😂

Seeing how more emotional and passionate he’s been this year explains it all. He knew this would be his last year playing

The insight of the space and time when you are playing on the field versus what is seen on screen is spot on and good to know. This is valuable for the youth.

Its absolutely fascinating that these pundits cover laliga week and week out, and don't have a single clue what Toni is about.

I will always miss 2014 real Madrid CR 7 kroos james

Have they heard about "Quality and more time with family and loved ones" ? 🤔

Now I don’t know if I want Dortmund to win or Madrid to win

I respect Kroos for being a such reliable player, his mind boggling passing accuracy made him so. I admire his elegance, never lost temper, always focused on the game. He retires at the right time. Very realistic.

Thanks

He was always first choice under every coach of Real in the last ten years. That says everything.

We will miss you legend

Kroos’ free kick against Sweden, his goal from a corner kick; his insane passes to Vini after signalling to Vini to run… those stay in my head rent free

and also ... 34 is quite old ... it's not like he's retiring at 27 .. no, not all people should be pepe who still playing until 41 .. kross done his job enough at this sport. we don't need all of that retirement arc. he can and will retired as one of the best. and the most important thing, he will have more time for himself and family ..

Kross is like xavi, pirlo and busqute combined

Kroos is a legend and I have no clue how we will his big shoes. Pure class.

THANK YOU TONI FOR THIS LAST DECADE😭😭💔🙏🏽🌍🥇🏆🐐 EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE AND CONTRIBUTED FOR REAL MADRID AND OUR MADRIDISTA FAMILY😭🖤🙏🏽 YOU ARE A CLUB LEGEND AND WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND EXTREMELY MISSED TONI!!!!!! PARA SIEMPRE HALA MADRID😭😭😭💔🖤🙏🏽🐐🏆🥇

Toni is world 🌎 class player he make everything easy in football ⚽

Every generation will have special players. Kross easily makes the list of special players in this generation. There is no compare to other players because there is not need for this. We must all applaud and revel at his uniqueness and greatness.

Toni Kross had that Spanish technique coupled with German industry. I've watched so much of Kross, stationed as a pure 8, near the left back, avail himself to ease the press and he never seem to lose the ball. Although technically gifted he really did put a number of miles on his body, especially with how undroppable the 3 of them were. I've also watched Touchmeni a great deal as well as Cavaminga & they seem not to think as quickly as Kross, despite their other strenghts. As with Michael Ballack, technically gifted players with a hellava engine.

The best No.8 ever touched the ball… period

Surely, Toni Kroos will win the ballon dor 2024 he's one of the greatest players in the history of Real Madrid.

LOL!!! Too many other players had much better seasons than Toni Kroos, and he's not even in the top 10 best players in the history of Real Madrid.

Our boy!! He went to my school for three years before transferring to Bayern Munich. We read in the local newspaper about the Hansa youth team's successes in Germany's youth league and in international tournaments against top clubs like man utd, inter, real etc. Kroos was already called talent of a century when he was only 15, 16. The thing which makes me so proud of him is that he unlike so many others managed to deliver and achieve an absolute dream career of any ordinary boy. Coming from the small town, go to the regional club, go to the best national club, become the best player at the U17 world cup in 2007 and go to the best club in the world. And stay there till the end!!

Best midfielder could still play

Dude came did his thing and left I always like the way he plays will miss him

toni kroos is great footballer with a great career for both club and country, definitely a legend

He taught the kids the Madrid mentality and left on top of his game respect 🫡

Kroos : The Last German Machine (oh yeah with Muller and Neuer of cuz 😁)

better than inesta and xavi combined lil indian incel🤣🤣🤣

I'm dismayed by this news to be honest. I'll live to tell my kids I got to watch Antonio play for the best team in the world. Enjoy retirement Champ! You have absolutely earned it💐

A great player.

I could see a correlation between raul leaving castilla and toni kroos retiring. If anyone can see the game in a way that toni kroos does, they have the potential.

Favourite midfielder of the 2010 era

He aint fed up, he always said he wanted to end at the very highest level and the day he felt he couldnt fight for his spot in Madrid, he'd leave. This season, he must have seen modric and thought to himself that he does not want to go out like that. That could well have been the case with our young players shining (even guler lately besides cama, jude, fede and tchou ofcourse plus the arrivals of mbappe and endrick). And 34 isnt young at all, dont let people like ronaldo, thiago silva, messi, modric and zlatan fool you into that

The most difficult thing in football is to play simple and effortless …. Kroos is the definition of it !!

This is the first retirement to actually hit me hard (no Diddy) since Zizou 😢😢😢😢 Kroos is my favourite Real Madrid player of this generation❤ May the football gods crown him with his 6th UCL title as a parting gift 🥲🥲🥲

He will come back as a coach..

Even though Toni Kroos has had a fantastic season and has a year or 2 left in him at the highest level, his decision to announce his retirement at the end of the season is shocking, at the end of the day, you want to end your career off on a high. He obviously wanted to retire at Real Madrid because we know that he has an agenda against certain players who go to Saudi Arabia for the money, but thats for another conversation. The perfect ending for him is winning his 6th champions league title in his last ever game for Real Madrid and win the EUROs for Germany on home soil and then possibly the Ballon Dor. When you’re someone who has won everything there is to win at the highest level for club and country (almost), you can’t really blame him for his decision to retire at the end of the season despite being 34 years old. There’s a possibility that he ends his legendary career on a high and he deserves it because he’s a flawless and professional player never fights against anyone has class very respectable and doesn’t care about headlines PR or media hype compared to his teammates. He’s a serial winner a footballing legend and we lost another great in Kroos. It’s crazy that all of the legends we grew up watching are retiring every year leaving Europe and going to Saudi Arabia for the money and my advice for football fans is to appreciate what you have because you don’t know it until it’s gone.

As A German he plays football with brain than legs. He reads the game very well. Made awsome innumarable passes. Thank you. He will be back as a MANAGER soon🌷👍🏼

One of the most underrated players of his generation

Tony kroos what a player 👌🦅

I just think he wants to enjoy time with his family and loved ones, he has won everything and he is getting older. Sacrificing time for loved ones is something we don’t think about
