Matthäus tough as nails:
“The biggest mistake in Bayern’s club history”
Toni Kroos left FC Bayern in 2014 as a newly crowned world champion for just 25 million euros. Lothar Matthäus believes that letting the midfield star go so easily was the biggest mistake in the club's history.

"From FC Bayern's point of view, it was the biggest mistake in the club's history to let Toni Kroos go simply out of emotion and vanity," the 63-year-old told the German newspaper Bild.
