"Real" was and will remain my last club. Cross retires

Toni Kroos spoke about ending his career as a football player.

The midfielder for Real Madrid and the German national team will end his professional career after the European Championship.

"As a Real Madrid player, the day of my presentation changed my life. My life as a football player, but mainly as a person. It was a new chapter for the biggest club.

Ten years later, this chapter ends at the end of the season. I will never forget this incredibly successful time. I would especially like to thank all those who accepted me with open hearts and trusted me. But I would especially like to thank you, dear Madridistas, for your love from the first day to the last.

My football career will end this summer after the European Championship. As always said, "Real" was and will remain my last club. I am happy and proud, and I have made the right decision at the right time, and I can make it on my own. My goal has always been to finish my career at the peak of my abilities.

From now on, I have only one main idea: forward for the 15th Champions League trophy. Hala, Madrid," wrote Kroos.
