Real Madrid announced the end of Toni Kroos' successful tenure after ten years, expressing gratitude for his professionalism and framing the German midfielder as "one of the great legends" of the club, winner of 22 titles before the UEFA Champions League final at Wembley, which will be his last match in white.

"Real Madrid C.F. announces that Toni Kroos has decided to end his career as a professional football player after Euro 2024," Real Madrid announced in a statement published minutes after the German midfielder's announcement on his social media.

"Real Madrid wants to express its gratitude and affection to Toni Kroos, a player who is already part of Real Madrid's history and is one of the great legends of our club and world football," they added.

Real Madrid recalled Kroos' arrival at the club in 2014, when he decided to end his spell at Bayern Munich and face a new challenge, becoming "a fundamental player in one of the most successful periods in the 122-year history" of the club.

In the ten years he has defended Real Madrid, Kroos has won 22 titles in 463 games: 4 UEFA Champions Leagues, 5 FIFA Club World Cups, 4 UEFA Super Cups, 4 La Liga titles, 1 Copa del Rey, and 4 Spanish Super Cups. He is the fifth foreign player with the most appearances for the Madrid team.

"Toni Kroos will forever remain in the hearts of all Madridistas for the excellence of his football and for being a player who has given everything for this shirt, always representing the values of Real Madrid," concluded Real Madrid before wishing him "good luck" in the new stage of his life that will begin after the Eurocup.
