On May 21, Beijing time, Kroos announced on his social media that he would retire after the European Cup, and then Real Madrid officially confirmed the news of Kroos' retirement and released Kroos's retirement poster. Previously, a number of media outlets were tracking the future of Real Madrid's two veteran midfielders, and Spanish media sources believe that Modric and Kroos will renew their contracts with the club for one year after the end of the season, but now it seems that the situation has changed.

The 34-year-old has been with Real Madrid for 10 years, and has been the absolute main force of the team in the past 10 years, and is also the absolute hero of Real Madrid's ability to win the Champions League three times in a row, helping the team win many trophies including the Champions League, league title and cup title during his time at Real Madrid, and is one of the best midfielders in world football in the past 10 years. At the same time, he and Modric and Casemiro form a "ceremonial midfield", which is also one of the best midfield combinations in the history of football in the minds of Real Madrid fans.

Kroos' current contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the season, and the two sides have previously changed to a one-year one-contract extension, which is also the way Real Madrid renews most of its veterans, including Modric. Kroos has made 46 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring one goal and providing nine assists in all competitions, and his playmaking passes in midfield remain Real Madrid's most dangerous attacking tool, and with his current form, he can continue to play for a few more seasons at a top club.

Kroos' official retirement also means that this summer's European Championship will be the last dance of his career, as the leader of Germany's golden generation, Kroos has also had an excellent international career, winning the World Cup with the team and joining Real Madrid in the same year. In 2021, Kroos opted to retire from the national team, but this year he chose to return to the German team again, and has already played in the warm-up games, with his escort in midfield, the German midfield deserves more trust.

Although Real Madrid fans knew that Kroos would not stay at the club for too long, and his idea of retiring had never changed, they did not expect the time to come so quickly, and the timing of his choice to retire did exceed the expectations of many fans. Real Madrid have reached the final of the Champions League this season, and Kroos will also be able to play for Real Madrid in the final, which is also his last chance to compete for the Champions League title, and the Real Madrid players will also want to bid farewell to the team's legendary midfielder.
