Toni Kroos has retired following Germany’s devastating 2-1 extra-time loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals. The 34-year-old midfielder, who recently ended his club career with Real Madrid, hoped for a fairytale ending but instead faced a bittersweet farewell.

Despite showing his world-class skills in his 114th appearance for Germany, Kroos struggled at times against Spain’s young talents. His influence remained evident, as he helped Germany equalize late through Florian Wirtz.

Kroos initially retired from international football in 2021 but returned to aid Germany in their Euro 2024 campaign. His passing, intelligence, and leadership were on full display, even as his physical limitations became apparent.

After the match, Kroos reflected on the effort and disappointment, expressing pride in his team’s progress. He now looks forward to spending more time with his family in Mallorca, leaving behind a remarkable legacy that includes a World Cup, multiple league titles, and six Champions League crowns.
