Modric wrote a heartfelt goodbye to his teammate Toni Kroos.

After spending seven successful years at Real Madrid, midfielder Toni Kroos will be retiring from the club. His partner in the midfield, Luka Modric, has taken to social media to express his emotional farewell to the German player. Kroos has been a key player in the Real Madrid team since he joined in 2014, consistently dominating the midfield with his skills and leadership. However, all good things must come to an end, and Kroos will be playing his last match in the Real Madrid jersey on June 2nd in the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund. It will not only be Madrid's bid for their 15th CL trophy, but also Kroos' 6th, making it a bittersweet moment for both the player and the club.

Modric's heartfelt message on Instagram reflects the sadness felt by the football world upon Kroos' retirement. He acknowledges Kroos' status as a legend of the sport and of Real Madrid, bringing a unique and special quality to the team's center-field. Playing alongside Kroos has been an honor for Modric, and he will never forget the golden era they shared at the club. The memories of unforgettable European nights, winning titles, and the magic of the Bernabéu will always hold a special place in their hearts.

Modric also reminds Kroos that although he has achieved almost every trophy possible in his career, they still have one more to go for - the 15th CL trophy. Modric's words show the bond and friendship between the two players, as he signs off as "I'll miss you my friend." After the UCL final, Kroos will be heading to Germany to represent his national team in the Euros, making it his final tournament before retirement.

Kroos' trophy cabinet is one of the most impressive in the world of football, having won almost every trophy available to him. However, one trophy that has eluded him is the European Championship. As he bids farewell to Real Madrid, Kroos will be looking to end his career on a high note by finally adding this trophy to his collection.
