Real Madrid icon Toni Kroos has made the decision to hang up his boots at the conclusion of the season following the 2024 Euros, capping a legendary career at the team. Kroos has won an amazing 22 titles since joining the Merengues in 2014, and with the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund coming up, he may soon add another to his trophy case.
Due to his intellect and reliable play, the German has established himself as one of the best midfielders of his time, and his teammates have understandably been deeply affected by his departure.
Gamers lament the approaching departure of Kroos.
Several players showed their support for Kroos when he posted on social media with an emotional statement saying goodbye to the Madrid supporters. During Kroos’ goodbye, players like Vinicius and Rodrygo used cry emojis to convey their feelings.
In an honest admission, Thibaut Courtois said, “We will miss you.” David Alaba wrote, “You understand how furious I am. I adore you, Anton—you’re a legend! In addition to the devastated emoji, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., Brahim, and Nacho Fernandez also used emojis on Kroos’ tweet to convey their anguish.
In addition, Camavinga used heartfelt emoticons to repost the German’s post on his Instagram story.
Dani Carvajal also posted a heartfelt farewell message on social media for the legendary midfield player.
Former teammates in the same state of distress James Rodriguez and Marcelo, two of his former colleagues, called him a “legend,” while Joselu and Lucas Vazquez, two current Madrid players, agreed. Gareth Bale said, “Congratulations on an amazing career,” beside Kroos in a photo he shared on his story. It’s a pleasure to play with you.
Isco Alcaron, another threepeat era icon, wrote on social media, “A shame, friend! But you’ve got better than the game. The amount of affection and sympathy that Kroos received from his teammates is evidence of their regard for him. It also comes as no surprise that the Real Madrid team and administration are distraught about Kroos’ impending departure.
