Following Real Madrid’s Champions League final victory over Liverpool last night, midfielder Toni Kroos has revealed that he will remain with the Los Blancos for at least two more years.
Real Madrid celebrated winning their 14th European crown at Paris, courtesy of a goal from Vinicius Jr. The Spanish outfit now sit well clear of anyone when it comes to the number of European titles won. Madrid have won the competition an unprecedented 5 times in the last 9 years.
One player who has been pivotal to Real Madrid’s success in Europe is midfielder Toni Kroos. Along with Luka Modric and Casemiro, Kroos forms one of the greatest midfield tridents to have ever set foot on the pitch. The trio isn’t famous for any flamboyance, but rather for their efficiency, intelligence, and their ability to grind.
If you had to pick out someone from the trio for their simplicity, yet effectiveness of playing, you would pick Toni Kroos.
The German very often runs the show from midfield. He is known for the range and accuracy of his distribution with either foot, his technique, vision, creativity, reading of the game, and his ability to dictate play in midfield or set up goals with his passing and ball delivery from set-pieces. The former Bayern Munich man is as versatile as it gets when it comes to modern midfielders.
Although Kroos has created quite the legacy at the Spanish capital, he is now 32. Despite winning yet another European trophy, Madrid are looking ahead to the future. Reports have linked Aurelién Tchouaméni of Monaco to Los Blancos, and a deal is reportedly very close.
There have been assumptions that the Frenchman will replace Kroos, but Kroos was not having any of it, ” “I’ll have to continue here at Real Madrid… two more years”
