Toni Kroos bid an emotional farewell to the Bernabeu in his final match at the iconic stadium on Saturday. The football world was stunned by his announcement that he will retire after the European Championships this summer. The game against Real Betis was not only the last of the La Liga title-winning season for his team but also his final appearance in front of the fans at the Bernabeu before the Champions League final at Wembley.
Despite a 0-0 draw, Kroos was recognized with an MVP award from viewers and received a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 85th minute. He was visibly emotional as his children cried after the match, and he took a victory lap with his family.
In his post-match comments, Kroos expressed gratitude to Real Madrid, his teammates, and the fans for the unforgettable ten years he spent at the club. He admitted that the farewell was not easy and that seeing his children made him emotional.
Kroos praised his colleagues for their respect and described the current squad as a special team. He wanted to announce his retirement before the Betis game to focus on winning the Champions League title at Wembley. A victory there would secure a record-tying sixth UCL crown for Kroos and cement his legacy as one of the finest midfielders of his generation.
