Sixth CL triumph
Kroos on his farewell: “Means an incredible amount to me”
Sentimental farewell from Toni Kroos! The 34-year-old German bid farewell to Real Madrid after winning the final with his fifth Champions League title - his sixth triumph in the top flight.
"Of course I wanted to say goodbye with this Champions League victory, it means an incredible amount to me," said Kroos after the 2-0 win over Dortmund. "The decisive factor was that we didn't concede a goal in the first half, which wasn't good from us, Dortmund played very well. We then got into it better. It took a long time for us to be the better team."
The Whites have won six titles since the 2013/2014 season, with Luka Modric, Dani Carvajal and Nacho three players who have always been part of the team. Like Toni Kroos, who followed up his victory with Bayern in 2013 with five titles with Real from 2016.
For Kroos, who has already announced the end of his career, it was of course a dream farewell from Madrid on Saturday against Dortmund.
Most successful German footballer
Unbelievable: the most successful German footballer of all time won his 23rd trophy in ten years at Real Madrid. It was not for nothing that Florentino Perez, president of the "galacticos", recently said of the brilliant midfield director: "Toni Kroos is one of the greatest players in the history of Real Madrid."
