And Bayern thought he was not good enough for them so he went to Madrid.

[exactinmidget]

Even if its just for Euro im happy he is back on the national team.

[ddeedje]

And one great aspect, he played well from start to finish. No 5 good years and then a retirement with a big contract while giving mediocre stats. He was on top of his game for his whole career.

Gonna savour every moment I have left to watch him. I think he’s the greatest of them all. The consistency for that long, I mean the number speaks for themselves, more than 92 percent passing accuracy in his every season at Real Madrid. GOAT

[nkululekotokologo]

Who is here after Match day 1 of Real Madrid match, playing without a controller like Kross, we miss you so much😢

[bartoszrybacki]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING KROSS

[polizei-plvm]

He scored over 92% passacc in his whole carrer

[subzeroNL]

As a barca fan i have to say gonna mis him in la liga

[armanabelino]

That extraordinary talent shouldn’t be wasted for an early retirement he should be still playing plus he’s cute!

[codedsoul]

As a Madrid fan I have to say, it was time for Modric to leave not Kroos.

[sekousswaray]

Toni is a legend in the world and in Real Madrid his metter then cr7 or messi he have all cup you can name and his a midfielder football is about cup not ballon d’or .ballon d’or is a company but cup is achievement . He have mot champion league then messi and the same as cr7 so history his a legend

[gymmmpapi]

He left Bayern a champions league winner won a World Cup that summer before moving to Madrid

[ELVER_GALARGA__]

IF YOU LOVE THIS SPORT, YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOVE KROSS

[albertopaladino]

AC Milan please make him change his mind🔴⚫

[barbmitch]

Stop talking sh!t about American pundits your just ignorant im from uk one of my all time favs is taylor twellman for like the last ten years, great post btw fellas, such a legend and good guy ❤

[jckel]

The fact, that he never won a ballon d‘or shows how inept the voting media is/was.

[Dontmatter]

Finally an American saying something coherent and smart. But I have to say it’s the first time these clowns have a good take

[daimsaeed]

Na reus said it first, hope reus win the CL

[CR_]

When Kroos announced last week that he'll retire in the summer, his manager, Carlo Ancelotti, hailed him as “one of the best midfielders in the history of the game”. Here's the weird part, though: Real Madrid have always done better when Kroos isn't on the pitch.

Great midfielder but wont go down as one of the greatest ever midfielders.
