Quite a bomb this Tuesday, May 21 on the football planet. Toni Kroos (34), who is having an exceptional season with Real Madrid, has just announced his retirement at the end of the season. If he has to play with Real Madrid this Saturday against Real Betis Balompié, his last match with the Merengues will take place on Saturday June 1 against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final. The opportunity for him to win the 6th Champions League of his career and the fifth under the Merengue tunic. Just after, he will have the opportunity to play Euro 2024 with Germany, who is on Julian Nagelsmann’s list. This will be his last stand. On his Instagram account, the midfielder announced this news with emotion: “July 17, 2014, the day of my presentation to Real Madrid, the day that changed my life. My life as a footballer – but above all as a person. It was the start of a new chapter at the biggest club in the world. After 10 years, at the end of the season, this chapter comes to an end. I will never forget this insolent and successful period!”

“I would particularly like to thank all the people who welcomed me with an open heart and who trusted me. But above all I would like to thank you, dear people of Madrid, for your affection and love from the first to the last day. At the same time, this decision means that my active football career will end this summer after the Euros. As I have always said: Real Madrid is and will be my last club. I am happy and proud that I found the right moment in my mind to make my decision and that I was able to choose it myself. My ambition has always been to finish my career at the peak of my performance level. From now on, there is only one guiding thought: a por la 15!!! HALA MADRID AND NADA MAS!”
