Cristiano Ronaldo recently expressed his support for Toni Kroon, his former Real Madrid teammate, following Kroos’s announcement of retirement after Euro 2024 with Germany. Ronaldo, now playing for Al Nassr, conveyed his admiration for Kroos on social media, stating, “For everything and so much more, Toni. What an honor to share the field with you. All the best for the future.” This gesture from Ronaldo joined a chorus of tributes from various prominent figures in football. During their time together at Real Madrid from 2014 to 2018, Ronaldo, aged 39, and Kroos, aged 34, clinched an impressive 11 titles, including La Liga, Super Copa de Espino, three Champions League trophies, three UEFA Super Cups, and three FIFA Club World Cups. As Kroon prepares for his final La Liga match with Real Madrid against Real Betis, followed by the Champions League final clash with Borussia Dortmund on June 1, his focus remains on concluding his career on a high note before leading Germany in the Euro 2024 campaign, which kicks off against Scotland on June 14.
