Toni Kroos Warns About Real Madrid and the Champions League: 'You Can Win Many, But...'

One of the legends who left Real Madrid very recently is Toni Kroos. The former German '8', after an exceptional campaign with the white team during the 23/24 season, decided to leave professional soccer immediately. The first team, even today, feels the impact of that loss in competitive terms.

Since he ended his career, Toni Kroos has spoken few times about what happened during his time at Real Madrid, insisting on marking the separation. But over time, he has understood that it is one of the most recurring questions about his professional life. During his last public appearance, he made some remarkably striking statements in that regard.

Especially considering the extensive personal showcase that the former merengue '8' has accumulated during his nearly two decades as a key player in the European soccer elite. Toni Kroos makes it clear that his bond with Real Madrid is still very present... because it was less than a year ago that he decided to leave Santiago Bernabéu locker room for good.

"You can win many Champions and many titles, but the farewell the fans gave me is hard to explain," Toni Kroos recalls. It is no wonder, since Madridists knew they had to say goodbye to one of the players who set the pace for the team over the last ten years.

Unforgettable Memory

Not just at Real Madrid level. Because Toni Kroos, even during his early years at Bayern Munich, was considered a potential reference in the midfield. His growth at the Bavarian entity and definitive move to the Spanish capital consolidated him as one of the best midfielders of his time and in global history.

Toni Kroos, like other players of his same 'generation', will always have a special place in Real Madrid's gallery of legends. Despite the achievements during the past season, including the victory in the Champions League final at Wembley, the former German midfielder made it clear that he wanted to retire.

The celebrations of his departure from the white club were up to the mark in every sense, starting with the institutional part and ending with the affection of the white supporters... which seems to have marked the former German '8' of Real Madrid for life.

So much so that the feelings experienced at that moment, according to Toni Kroos himself, could not be compared to the emotion and adrenaline of winning as many Champions Leagues as he did. That's why the German player will always be one of the favorites of Madridists even many years from now.
