Toni Kroos has been one of the finest midfielders of this generation. The German footballer has been known for his amazing visionary of passing and workload management during the game. The 34-year-old footballer has been a legend for the club and the nation as well and won several trophies in club football and as well as with the Deutschland. He has already announced his retirement from football after the end of the season. 

He won the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid which was his 5th UCL trophy with the Los Blancos and ending his stellar career as the final against Borussia Dortmund was the ultimate game of his club career. As announced earlier he will finally be hanging up his boots after the end of the UEFA Euro 2024. He will like to end his dream career with the nation by winning the trophy with the nation. 

Kroos has been amazing throughout the season, scoring just one goal and assisting in 10 time in 48 appearances for the club across all competitions. He has been a starter for Madrid and helped them secure their 36th La Liga title as well. However as the Ballon d'Or announcement coming near, there has been a possibility of the German to win the Golden Ball. 

Kroos to fight with Vini and Bellingham for Ballon d' Or

The 'German Sniper' is not the favourite to win the trophy offered by the France Football Federation. He has his club teammates Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham will be the two hot favourites, but if Kroos wins the Euro with Germany and scores some goals and assists as well he then will turn things around becoming one of the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or.

Previously Carlo Ancelotti also admitted that the upcoming tournament in Germany will play a massive part for the European footballers who are in the race for winning the trophy. The Italian manager believes if the midfielder wins the tournament and makes it a double he will be up for the fight as well.
