Toni Kroos Wins Best Player of 2024 Post-Retirement
Former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos was named Best Player of 2024 by Tuttosport, honoring his achievements during his final professional season.
Toni Kroos, former midfielder of Real Madrid, has been awarded the Best Player of 2024 by the Italian magazine Tuttosport. Kroos outperformed competitors such as Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo to claim the accolade.
In his final professional season, Kroos contributed significantly to Real Madrid's success, registering one goal and 10 assists in 48 matches. His performance played a crucial role in securing titles in La Liga and the Champions League, including an assist in the Champions League final.
Reacting to the award, Kroos humorously stated on Instagram, "I promise to stop winning awards soon, but I must thank Tuttosport and the legendary jury of world-class former players for selecting me as the Best Player of 2024."
Kroos concluded his illustrious career with the German national team at Euro 2024, where Germany hosted the tournament but exited in the quarterfinals after a defeat to Spain. The midfielder’s legacy as one of Germany's greatest players remains firmly intact.
