Toni Kroos, the midfield maestro who graced the world stage for club and country, has hung up his boots. The 34-year-old announced his retirement earlier this year, targeting Euro 2024 as his final curtain call.
Kroos' hometown of Greifswald, Germany, couldn't let the occasion pass without a tribute. In a heartwarming display of appreciation, residents gathered to form a giant "TONI 8" - a nod to his jersey number - in the heart of the town. This act of collective respect speaks volumes of the pride Greifswald holds for their local hero.
Kroos' final international appearance came in a heart-wrenching quarter-final defeat to Spain at Euro 2024. Despite the loss, Kroos bowed out with his head held high, having captained Germany in 106 appearances, scoring 22 goals throughout his illustrious international career.
