Toni Kroos has now ended his football career following the conclusion of Germany's challenge at Euro 2024. He had already played his last club match, going out on top by winning the 2024 UEFA Champions League final in his swan song with Real Madrid.

Toni Kroos has retired from international football after Germany's exit from Euro 2020. The Real Madrid midfielder, 31, made the announcement having played in Tuesday's 2-0 last-16 defeat to England at Wembley.

He quit international football in July 2021 but came out of retirement in February after talks with Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Kroos, 34, retired after his performances were called into question at Euro 2020 when Germany lost 2-0 to eventual runners-up England in the last 16.
