‘He is a legend’: Real Madrid voices on Toni Kroos

Champions League final will be midfielder’s last in all white before he bows out at Euro 2024

Carlo Ancelotti: His decision to go is the decision of a great, a decision of character. We are saying farewell to a footballing great who we have been lucky to have here. He is a great midfielder with huge quality and fantastic character, with little ego, who always played for the team; very altruistic. We have been lucky to have him for 10 years. Toni could close his career with a Champions League and at an individual level he deserves it. But his career doesn’t need another Champions League. He has been a fantastic player for 10 years, he had made history with Real Madrid and in world football.

Eduardo Camavinga: Toni doesn’t say much but when he does, he kills you. I like that about him.
