Toni Kroos on why he’s retiring: “Because I simply want to be remembered as the 34-year-old Toni Kroos who played his best season for Real Madrid at the end season. I’ve achieved that. I take it as a compliment that many people think the timing is too early.”

10. I know this isn’t the end for Toni and us. He will coach Madrid someday in the future.
