Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has announced that he will retire from football after Euro 2024.
Tony Kroos, Getty Images"17 July 2014 was the day of my presentation at Real Madrid, a day that changed my life. My life as a footballer - but especially as a person. It was the beginning of a new chapter at the biggest club in the world.
Ten years later, at the end of the season, this chapter is coming to an end. I will never forget that incredible and successful time! I would like to especially thank everyone who welcomed me with open hearts and trusted me. But especially I would like to thank you, dear Madrid people, for your commitment and your love from the first to the last day.
At the same time, this decision means that my football career will end this summer after the European Championships. As I have always said: "Real Madrid is and will be my last club. I am happy and proud that in my mind I found the right time for my decision and that I could choose it myself.
My ambition has always been to finish my career at the peak of my skills. From now on, there is only one guiding thought: The 15th Champions League trophy. Go Madrid," Kroos wrote on his Instagram page.
