Toni Kroos’ emotional farewell at the Santiago Bernabeu

Toni Kroos said a heartfelt goodbye to Real Madrid supporters at a packed Santiago Bernabeu last Saturday, as the German playmaker completed his final home match following a fantastic stint with the Spanish club. A goalless draw against Real Betis was largely inconsequential, with Real crowned as LaLiga champions as well as European qualifications and relegation slots decided, thus the evening was spent honouring the 34-year-old Kroos.

One of Real's greatest ever players after amassing 464 appearances and assisting club win in excess of 20 major honours including six European Cups, Kroos declared that he would be retiring after the forthcoming European Championship on their home turf. He fought back tears as he came onto the pitch along a passage constructed by his teammates, all of whom were donning his number eight jersey, while spectators put up a large flag with his face.
