Toni Kroos (34) has already ended his active career – he still gets a prize.
The former national player (114 international matches) is a “Golden Player”, an award given once a year by “Tuttosport”. The Italian sports daily explains: “He ended his career at the top, having won everything.”
In the last season of his career, Kroos won Real Madrid the Champions League, the Spanish championship and the cup.

A main focus of the award ceremony is always the title for the “Golden Boy”, the best player under the age of 21. This year this title goes to Lamine Yamal (17/FC Barcelona).
