Toni Kroos bid farewell to the Santiago Bernabéu in one of the most exciting tributes in Real Madrid’s memory. The German player took a lap of honor with his three children after the match against Betis in a stadium at his feet and where no one moved after the final whistle to pay tribute to him.
“It’s not easy to say something, I can only thank all the Madrid fans, the club, my teammates, the stadium. I have felt at home these 10 years, they have been 10 unforgettable years. No that I could ask for more,” he said in statements to Real Madrid TV.
“It’s a different feeling knowing it’s the last game. I want to enjoy this last day and I played my 80 minutes. I always enjoy playing here, it’s very special and will be missed It’s mine,” Kroos continued. “I stayed strong but my children killed me,” laughed Kroos about his children, who couldn’t hold back tears of emotion.
“This is a very special team. In addition to being great players, they are good people, it’s a great group, they always show me the respect that I think I deserve and feel I’m very comfortable,” added Kroos, who now wants to focus on the Champions League final.
“”I want to make it official before this game so that this issue can be forgotten from tomorrow. Winning the Champions League would be the best way,” he commented.
