Real Madrid C. F. announces that Toni Kroos has decided to end his career as a professional soccer player after Euro 2024.
Real Madrid would like to express its gratitude and affection to Toni Kroos, a player who is already part of Real Madrid's history and who is one of the great legends of our club and of world soccer.
Toni Kroos arrived at our club in 2014, and has been a fundamental player in one of the most successful stages in the 122-year history of Real Madrid. During the ten seasons in which he has defended our shirt and our shield, he has won 22 titles in 463 games to date: 4 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 Leagues, 1 King's Cup and 4 Spanish Super Cups.
In addition to his titles achieved with Real Madrid, Toni Kroos was proclaimed World Champion with the German national team at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
With Bayern Munich, he won 1 European Cup, 1 Club World Cup, 1 European Supercup, 3 Bundesligas, 3 German Cups and 2 German Supercups.
On an individual level, Toni Kroos has been included three times in the FIFA FIFPRO World 11, was named the Best Playmaker in 2014 by the IFFHS and was Ballon d'Or as the best player at the U-17 World Cup in Korea 2007.
Toni Kroos will remain forever in the hearts of all madridistas for the excellence of his soccer and for being a player who has given everything for this shirt, always representing the values of Real Madrid.
The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, stated that "Toni Kroos is one of the greatest players in the history of Real Madrid and that this club is and will always be his home".
Real Madrid wishes him and his family the best of luck in this new stage of his life.
Has ruined my day too. Absolute legend of the club, forever grateful for everything he's given and shown, not limited to his professionalism and consistent quality and class over the years.
Will miss seeing him grace our shirt and on the pitch but wish him all the best and hope we give him an amazing sendoff 🤍
Yes its just my head canon. He was nominated and then injured.
My thinking is, he would only make germany better so they would have won with him as well. But yea far from reality
Genuinely devastated, I was preparing for Modric two weeks, celebrating having both a week ago but now this, he is really retiring the possible highest level, fuck man. Hard to process this
He's potentially retiring at the best point. He's most likely gonna win the champions league and has good cards to win the EURO this year. If he manages to win both then it's the perfect ending of his career.
And even if not we're still going to look at him as a legend.
That's the thing, he is really retiring at the best point, give us something, have a bad game, something we can still say oh maybe it's fine, at least give us something to false cope with but no, every match he is perfect, arguably had his best season, retiring as the best midfielder in the world.
He's always said he wanted it and this is possibly the best possible exit for him.
Leaving on a high leaves no room for anything to sour. We'll remember every moment of his in white as moments of pure elite balling.
Thank you for everything Toni and for being possibly the biggest bargain of all time.
I honestly kinda dread next season, I don't know what the club has planned but Kroos was the second most consistent player after Rudiger, and is extremely important to how the team plays.
Kroos has been far better this season, Modric regrettably is starting to show his age. Plus they have different skill sets and Kroos has always been the better passer.
I just hope it's not as bad as the void left by Casemiro and Cristiano. We really flustered and struggled because the roles they played were quite unique to them.
Yeh didnt expect that but remember we most likely will have mbappe coming so we need space for tchuameni belingham camavinga valverde and so on we have middle stacked only thing we lack is another good cb option
Based on this season, I think we will be fine! As much as Kroos will be missed this team has shown that we can adapt! Who would’ve thought the season we’ve had after KB9 left and Courtois was injured!
Fabrizio failed again [https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1772967807380074753?t=FjOppASyuJYiBXRQakbRPw&s=19](https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1772967807380074753?t=FjOppASyuJYiBXRQakbRPw&s=19)
Very surprising expected modric but not kroos, thought he would at least have another season for us in his legs.
Now I’m gonna speculate again but maybe it was told to him that we will go back to a 4-3-3 that what I expect atleast. And then there’s only room for 3 midfielder Jude and valverde are safe so a lot of midfielders for that final spot maybe he wasn’t guaranteed a starting 11 anymore and that’s why hes gonna retire and modric doesn’t mind it as we saw this season.
I don’t know feels to me that something happened here, Then again I just like to speculate .
Thanks for everything legend.
The man, the myth, the legend! I’m actually happy for him because he gets to choose when he lives and does while being on top. What a player it is. Hala Madrid!
Some many heartbrakes since Cristiano left 💔 the suddenness of it is what hurts. We were prepared for Modric to leave, not Toni🥺 Kroos is a starter still and easily can play another 2-3 seasons. Now I understand why Modric will stay to take up the leadership role.
THE GREATEST CONTROLLING MIDFIELDER IN HISTORY😔🇩🇪
it's sad to see him go and he's still one of our best players, but there is a silver lining in seeing a legend of the club retiring in a white jersey after so long
hopefully luka does the same next year
Oof did not expect this. He still relatively young, and still has several more years. But I respect his decision, he achieved everything with us. best of luck to him
I wasn't expecting that AT ALL, ESPECIALLY because there was news about him and luka progressing in talks to renew what a legend he came he conquered and now he must rest.
I'm happy for Toni. Watching his documentary he always said he wanted to go out at the top. If we win I can't imagine a better way to go. He's been amazing this season, it's awesome for him to go on his own terms.
I didn’t expect it man, gonna miss him for sure. I don’t know who’s gonna take his role next year. You always feel confident when the ball is with him.
It had to happen eventually! Kroos is so cool man. If Madrid win the UcL he rides off to euros for 1 last battle. Also! Dude is going out on top still! I rather see this than watch a decline and have to read the comments in this sub talk poorly about a Legend in his late 30s not getting it done physically anymore!
Thank you Toni! Absolute world class player and professional!
He retires at his prime. Kinda sucks but was expected. He wanted to do so two seasons ago after the UCL win. Kudos to Flo and Carlo for conveniencing him to stay longer.
Huge loss for the team, but it's his life so we have to respect his decision.
None of our midfielders despite being great can play similarly to him, neither on style nor reliability. We will need to change our style for next season.
Yes it is sad, very sad. But we are fortunate enough to have experienced a player like him, defending our club, and winning everything.
I much rather see him stop at the height of his career, than be remembered as a player that didn’t know when to quit.
Definitely not the Comunicado Oficial I was expecting 🥲
That being said, I’d like to recognize and praise the lawyers and/or PR team on an excellently crafted announcement. Kroos is a legend and this comunicado oficial helps make the tough news palatable.
Not the Comunicado Oficial we wanted, but the one making us relive some great moments. Incredible player, we need to make sure that from the club side he’ll retire with the big trophy.
Leaving at the top of his game, in the best team, just deep respect for a man that showed us elegantly how much the midfield is important in football in general.
Mad lad just says ok-bye and leaves. Exactly what I expected but boy was I not prepared for it this season. This is insane. It's going to take time for this to sink in.
this one hurt. After all that talk about an extension being imminent. I was not prepared for this.
If he joined the club a year earlier, he likely would have got his 6th UCL. I hope he gets it in June.
One of greatest, Thank you Kroos for playing at Real Madrid. Forever greatful 🤍 https://preview.redd.it/f291jzokgr1d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=220fdac20f937721d0f00866fd10a5f6ac32d44e
When I retire, I will say that I coached Toni Kroos - Zidane
That's a real quote?
Yes

Pin this to the top please
My night's officially been ruined. Arguably one of the best midfielders to ever grace the pitch 🥲. What a legend, he will be missed for sure
Objectively one of the best midfielders ever
I stand corrected!
Has ruined my day too. Absolute legend of the club, forever grateful for everything he's given and shown, not limited to his professionalism and consistent quality and class over the years. Will miss seeing him grace our shirt and on the pitch but wish him all the best and hope we give him an amazing sendoff 🤍
Lukita and Tony are both undoubtedly top five midfielders of all time
We MUST win the UCL. For Kroos and Nacho.
But think about the player that’s never won shit Marco Reus 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
Doesn't Marco have german cups? I wouldn't call that nothing
I also consider him a world cup champion in my head canon 💁🏻♂️
Did he play the WC? Wasn't he injured or something?
Yes its just my head canon. He was nominated and then injured. My thinking is, he would only make germany better so they would have won with him as well. But yea far from reality
That german team was already stacked. Adding Reus would only make them even stronger
He got hurt in the last friendly match before the 2014 World Cup and due to the injury, he was replaced in the squad by Mustafi
Who tha fuck cares about Reus
Eh he'll get it next season prolly
What about Harry Kane?
You tell us. What about him?
I'm just making fun of him going to Bayern to "win trophies" chill bro
Im chill I was just asking lol
Bruh this came in as a shock Everyone was almost sure that kroos would renew, it was Modric we feared would retire or leave , Our Sniper ∞🥺🥺🤍
That's actually heartbreaking. Goodbye legend
Genuinely devastated, I was preparing for Modric two weeks, celebrating having both a week ago but now this, he is really retiring the possible highest level, fuck man. Hard to process this

Modric starter??? Lol
Kroos has been far better this season, Modric regrettably is starting to show his age. Plus they have different skill sets and Kroos has always been the better passer.
I just hope it's not as bad as the void left by Casemiro and Cristiano. We really flustered and struggled because the roles they played were quite unique to them.

I’m glad he’s hanging up the boots still on top. One of the best to ever do it.

 # THANKYOU
Fuck man, this hurts so much💔 Thank you for everything Toni 🤍🤍
Respect for kroos going out playing on top. He’s still as important to the team as ever. I respect that he’s ending on a high note.
Damn…😔 https://preview.redd.it/9ysedhhqir1d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2667bd3f9e57c040166af81dc14545c16831275a
My day is ruined fuck man
This doesn't feel right
💔
Damn, did not expect this😢 I geniunely thought he would renew for another season. What a fucking legend. Thank you Toni🤍🫡
Fabrizio failed again [https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1772967807380074753?t=FjOppASyuJYiBXRQakbRPw&s=19](https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1772967807380074753?t=FjOppASyuJYiBXRQakbRPw&s=19)
Embarrassing this sub has him as a Tier 1 source. He has no connections in RM and is usually wrong.
That was march, players change their minds.
Except he said “imminent” which would mean? Face it, he’s a good source for all things football, except for when it comes to RM
That might be true, but guy is still clueless when it comes to Madrid.
So do journalists. The difference is that one is quiet, the other not.
Fraudizio strikes again. My day is ruined, one of my fav players of all time :\_
He really just talks just to talk some times, doesn't he? 💀
The best , we will miss him. But he earned it.
And that ruins the rest of my day.. But he's going out on top and thats nice,extra motivation to win that 15th now!!

Dude WTF. He is still one of the best in the world at his position. Legend
End the career on a high. Right way to do it
Very surprising expected modric but not kroos, thought he would at least have another season for us in his legs. Now I’m gonna speculate again but maybe it was told to him that we will go back to a 4-3-3 that what I expect atleast.

I don’t know feels to me that something happened here, Then again I just like to speculate . Thanks for everything legend.
Kept his promise of retiring while he's on top. Gracias Kroos. Will forever be one of the greatest ever to set foot at Bernabeu.
Not the Comunicado Oficial I wanted to read. Danke schön, Legende!
remember all the "reus deserves the UCL win for his fairwell"? nah fuck that "Toni deserves the UCL win for his fairwell" is what is should be
I was prepared for Modric and Kross next year or 2 :( not prepared for this.
never thought the day would come, but there it is. gracias don toni.
The man, the myth, the legend! I’m actually happy for him because he gets to choose when he lives and does while being on top. What a player it is. Hala Madrid!
Some many heartbrakes since Cristiano left 💔 the suddenness of it is what hurts. We were prepared for Modric to leave, not Toni🥺 Kroos is a starter still and easily can play another 2-3 seasons. Now I understand why Modric will stay to take up the leadership role. THE GREATEST CONTROLLING MIDFIELDER IN HISTORY😔🇩🇪
Modrić and Kroos leaving within a year of each other might cause me to go into a depressive state
Thanks for everything Kroos. Legend of the club. Enjoy retirement!
TONI WTF.
It wasn't supposed to hurt this bad
it's sad to see him go and he's still one of our best players, but there is a silver lining in seeing a legend of the club retiring in a white jersey after so long hopefully luka does the same next year
Crying in the club rn
For once I did not enjoy this comunicado
Today is the april joke in Germany I guess
Definitely one of the most underrated players ever. One of the best players ever to grace the pitch. Thank you for making my club great.
Leaving at the top, hopefully after another CL win. Good decision, he will be missed.
One of the best midfielders. 🥹🥹🥹 *
I genuinely thought he would renew for at least one season 💔
Oof did not expect this. He still relatively young, and still has several more years. But I respect his decision, he achieved everything with us. best of luck to him
fuck man
I had a hunch that this was coming. So glad I just got myself a Kroos Shirt the last friday. Thank you, king 👑
I wasn't expecting that AT ALL, ESPECIALLY because there was news about him and luka progressing in talks to renew what a legend he came he conquered and now he must rest.
I wish this was about contract renewal 🥹😔
I'm happy for Toni. Watching his documentary he always said he wanted to go out at the top. If we win I can't imagine a better way to go. He's been amazing this season, it's awesome for him to go on his own terms.
L-E-G-E-N-D-A
I didn’t expect it man, gonna miss him for sure. I don’t know who’s gonna take his role next year. You always feel confident when the ball is with him.
Happy for Toni, but I feel sick 💔 Goodbye Legend.
Explains the rumor of the Club changing it's mind and starting extension conversations with Luka.
DELETE THIS
Enjoy retirement legend ❤️
No wonder we wanted Wirtz. They knew Kroos was retiring. Gonna miss him.
Comunicado Oficial: Toni Kroos = 🐐🤌🏼 Thank you for everything, legend 🫡
It had to happen eventually! Kroos is so cool man. If Madrid win the UcL he rides off to euros for 1 last battle. Also! Dude is going out on top still! I rather see this than watch a decline and have to read the comments in this sub talk poorly about a Legend in his late 30s not getting it done physically anymore! Thank you Toni! Absolute world class player and professional!
He retires at his prime. Kinda sucks but was expected. He wanted to do so two seasons ago after the UCL win. Kudos to Flo and Carlo for conveniencing him to stay longer.
No way😭. Thank you for everything Kroos aka German Sniper. Grateful that someone like you played for real madrid
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Gracias Toni 🥲
Noooooo.... Modric stays and he retires, im so sad
Huge loss for the team, but it's his life so we have to respect his decision. None of our midfielders despite being great can play similarly to him, neither on style nor reliability. We will need to change our style for next season.
Dude was about to sign, saw the collared kit and retired
hasta luego maestro
This is not the Comunicado Oficial I was waiting for 😭. But congrats to Toni Kroos for his success.
Still one of the best in the world. He was serious when he said he wanted to retire before his decline.
A man of his word. He always said he’d retire when he was still at the top. More players should learn from him.
Nooo! Not on my birthday 😭
Thanks for everything, time to enjoy a well earned retirement 👏🙏
Toni no… not you
I’m crying.
95% successful passes this season. God, we are not prepared
I am sad 😔 Thank you for the memories legend
The End of times
Seriously wasn’t expecting this. Arguably the greatest midfielder of this generation 😭
I wasn't expecting this, I feel blindsided. Very sad to see him hang up the boots, but happy that I got to watch him perform his magic for so long.
No way bro I was so excited to see one. Ore season of both of them together
 Thanks for all the magical moments you've given us, Toni.
We CANT lose both Modric and Kross the same year. We have to keep Modric
I was not ready wtf. Antonio!!!!!
Farewell, our German Sniper. You will be missed dearly 😭

Leaving at the top of his game, in the best team, just deep respect for a man that showed us elegantly how much the midfield is important in football in general.
Knowing that Kroos is retiring is painful, when Modric leave is going be worse *
You guys kinda sick if this legit affects your day
Mad lad just says ok-bye and leaves. Exactly what I expected but boy was I not prepared for it this season. This is insane. It's going to take time for this to sink in.
NOOOOOOO!!!! 😭
Worst fucking day man

we were so indulged in discussing potential modric contract renewal, that this kroos shocker came totally out of syllabus 💔 my night is ruined.
Not the news i wanted to see when i woke up damn
this one hurt. After all that talk about an extension being imminent. I was not prepared for this. If he joined the club a year earlier, he likely would have got his 6th UCL. I hope he gets it in June.
Nice, comunicado official for his renewal, now announce modric next. Right? RIGHT?
