On May 21, Beijing time, the 34-year-old Kroos announced on social media that he would retire and leave Real Madrid after the European Cup this summer, and Kroos would end his 10-year Real Madrid career.

The 34-year-old from Germany plays as a midfielder who has played for Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid, where he played 463 games, scored 28 goals and provided 98 assists, and won 22 trophies, including four Champions League titles.

Today, Kroos suddenly announced on social media: "I joined Real Madrid on July 17, 2014, and this day changed my life, both as a player and as a person. This is a new chapter for me at the biggest club in the world and 10 years later, at the end of the season, it has come to an end. I will never forget this successful time! I would like to give a special thanks to all those who have opened their hearts to welcome me and trusted me.

But I would like to thank you, dear Madrid fans, for the care you took for me from day one to the last, and this decision means that my playing career will come to an end after the European Championships this summer. As I've always said: Real Madrid is and will be the last club I play for.

I am happy and proud because in my mind I found the right moment to make a decision and I can make my own choice. My ambition has always been to end my career at the top of my game. From now on, I have only one thought: to win 15 crowns! Hala Madrid！ ”

Real Madrid officially issued an announcement confirming that the 34-year-old Kroos will retire after this summer's European Championships, and expressed gratitude and respect to Toni Kroos, who has become a part of Real Madrid's history and one of the great legends of our club and world football.

With the Champions League final and this summer's European Championship to play, Kroos still has a chance to reach a Grand Slam.
