Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos to retire from football after 2024 Euros

In a shocking turn of events, Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has announced his intentions to retire at the end of the season via a letter posted on Instagram.

The German international will be playing his last game at the 2024 Euros that are being held in his home country which will be the perfect ending fitting for a player of Kroos’ stature.

“At the same time this decision means that my career as an active footballer will end this summer after the Euro championship,” Kroos wrote in an instagram post.

The 34-year old midfielder joined Real Madrid way back in 2014 and has been a vital part in four Champions League victories for the Los Blancos alongside 4 La Liga titles.

"Real Madrid wants to express its gratitude and affection to Toni Kroos, a player who is already part of the history of Real Madrid and who is one of the great legends of our club and world football…” read the statement posted by Real Madrid.

Over the course of his tenure at Madrid, the ‘German Sniper’ has played 463 games so far and will be playing his last club game at the Wembley stadium in the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 2 in what could once again be the fairytale ending of his club career.

It is also worth noticing that Kroos had previously retired from International football but recently made a comeback into the national team for the upcoming European Championship.
