Germany’s Toni Kroos, 34, will retire after this year’s European Championship, the Real Madrid midfielder announced on Tuesday, adding that next month’s Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund will be his last game for the Spanish club.
“My career as an active footballer will end this summer after the Euro championship. As I have always said: Real Madrid is and will be my last club,” Kroos said in a statement on Instagram.
“July 17th, 2014 – the day of my presentation at Real Madrid, the day that changed my life. My life as a footballer – but especially as a person.
