I’m 5 months late but literally I’ve never seen a subpar Kroos. In the 2022/23 season Ancelotti tried to age him out and it just fell so flat. Ancelotti saw the error of his ways. Toni Kroos in his final of professional football was immaculate. Forget the titles but actually having watched the games- not Madrid but as I could holistically for, I believe the best player in the world across the season was Toni Kroos. His performance levels were consistent. This man has been pulling the strings since day one. Everyone speaks of Modric but for me Kroos has always been the one. An absolute honour to have seen Kroos. He even said when he was 25 signing what he said would be last ever deal to take him to 30. He just had always aimed for 30 to call it quits no matter what. Only reason he pushed the 2 more years was because Perez and Ancelotti begged him and just loved Madrid so much he pushed. I mean even Madrid now, no disrespect but the absence of Kroos is damning. People speak of Rodri like a kingpin. I remember the first leg City vs Madrid Kroos played in the double pivot and the deepest and literally everyone thought City would pack Kroos. Literally Kroos produced A MOTM those numbers were insane. And he proved as did you can have system but you can’t beat Kroos even as Pep
@@enel.martinez i’m not talking about what Kroos won with 10 other top class individuals. I’m talking about the levels they reached as individual contributors to the game, and longevity. I think it’s really close but Gerrard’s peak is higher. Ballon d’Or 3rd place in 2005 even.
How good is Toni Kroos? Simply put ...... he is the best mid-fielder the soccer world has ever known. Real Madrid got a super bargain when they signed Toni for just 30 million in 2014 ..... the bargain of the century.Real Madrid and all Madridistas are surely gong to miss Toni very much. Wish Toni and his family all the best and thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts for everything that you did to make Real Madrid the best football team in the world. HALA MADRID
They are all fantastic players. But “of all time” is also a big statement. There are players like Maradonna, Plantini, Cruyff, Pirlo, Matthäus, Xavi, Iniesta etc etc The problem is that "best midfielder of all time" will always remain a subjective opinion. There will never be one.
@@Razor-fv2tv 100% true. I think we all have our biases as well. And "all time" is thrown around lightly. I never watched Maradona and half the time I forget he was a midfielder, he's better than everyone I mentioned. Same goes for Cruyff. I've watched Iniesta and Xavi and to me Modric just clearly surpassed them. Kroos is debatable but his decorated accomplishments puts him above them for me. They were together for far longer than Modric/Kroos duo and couldn't achieve the same heights. Someone can easily argue Xavi Iniesta > Modric Kroos too tho it's all subjective
@@kinGsaL1515 Maybe we can agree that they all sit at a round table and each one has contributed something special to football? And that this “one” doesn’t exist? 😆
Prime? Like while career may be? This man is another kind of creature compared to other midfielders. He is kind of person who could just make a chill phone call with his family during the game in the final and had a big laugh while others were trying to stay calm and focus (based on his true story). Absolutely monster for a decade, glad we had him at RM. 10:27 btw that’s wrong tho, he won 6 UCL.
Where do you guys think Toni Kroos ranks all time among central midfielders? Correction: He already has 5 UCL titles and the 2024 final is an opportunity for his 5th with Real Madrid Thanks for watching :)
@@FootballVisionYT They certainly had their chances, especially in the final 2018, the year Modric was awarded the Ballon D'Or if I'm not mistaken. Germany on the other hand didn't do too well in the last couple of tournaments. So you could well argue it being harsh to compare the Ballon D'Or when playing for Germany the last couple of years. And in 2014, that trophy was "taken" from Kroos by his very teammate Neuer ;) Anyways, Modric is a legend himself for sure. All the best to him.
Difficult to say who's best. And it is also difficult to compare players from different eras so I look at midfielders who played in the last 25 years. All that come to mind have or had their own unique playstyle. I would certainly put him into the same bracket as Xavi, Iniesta, Modric and Pirlo. There are only two better midfielders in my opinion and that's because they were so amazing to watch: Zidane and Seedorf.
its criminal how Bayern treated him he is the quint essential midfielder doesn't give the ball away and can play a killer through ball anytime one is open any other team would kill to have him but the Germans would be germans
How do you have 300 subs?
Its only going up from here :)
@@FootballVisionYT ngl this is better than most 10k vids. I thought this was made by like someone with 50k subs

Prime? His whole career is his prime tbh
Fair. Especially after he returned from Leverkusen
@@FootballVisionYT my first thought upon reading the title xD
@@jean-claudesaddam everyone who knows the kroos game has the same thought
Facts
101 passes completed from 102 attempts in recent match
From CAM to CM to CDM.
Top 5 greatest CM of all time
Top 3!!!
Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Modric and Gerrard are all better individual players.

His transfer to Real was a steal and there was no turning back from there!

Mate, he retired
@@ohannesjarjisfrancis8837 Not yet lel ?
@@danishrandomgamingdk2468 yes, yet
He win his 6 UCL today wow what a player
An absolute legend :)
Bro his whole career is his prime
“You are not a word class”.That damm fu*king motivation a man can get 💔🔥🔥.He made Bayern a Sunday league team whenever he faced them.
Sometimes pain is the best motivation
Prime Kroos was a top 3 midfielder of all time.
1. Zidane
2. Modric
3. Kroos
Ooof.... All 3 greats but quite a hot take excluding all of the Spanish trio
They are all fantastic players.
But “of all time” is also a big statement.

@shohamroshan Appreciate it! Really means a lot :)
All time legend ✨️🐐
Kroos has always been in his prime, even now.
Tribute 🎉simply class
Absolutely!
Where do you guys think Toni Kroos ranks all time among central midfielders?
Correction: He already has 5 UCL titles and the 2024 final is an opportunity for his 5th with Real Madrid
Thanks for watching :)
Kroos has 5 UCl titles in the bag
@@redmashish8623 Would be a massive upset if Dortmund win it
Now he's in d top five central midfielders, if he win UCL n then euro in d summer top 3 ❤
Dont think it will be upset for him . He will still be walking away with 5 UCL
A Euro and UCL more would be the perfect end to a career
Great video
Glad you enjoyed!
Man if toni wins the euros.... what a legacy he gonna have..... world class almost his whole career .... a real Madrid legend forever
Of the top of my head it would be one of the greatest careers of a midfielder ever
Great video i’m giving a subscribe. And im wondering how your channel isn’t 10k + 😅😅
Thanks for the support! We all gotta start somewhere :)
He already have 5 ucl
1 with bayern
4 with Real Madrid
Add one more now
Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
He wasn't physical, nor athletic but his intelligence... is what cemented himself as a legend of the game.
Just love it
Glad you enjoyed!
greatest midfielder of all time and its not close
My Man was always in his prime
Toni was in his prime till the end
He was on his prime the whole career
Priceless..... Primeless
Timeless....
The player whose prime was his whole career.
please change the title it should be how good is prime toni kroos?
Only thing missing is the ballondor definitely top 5 mids for sure
Definitely a very compelling argument after last night :)
The Best midfielder in world modern era football. Statistics tell everything
Purely on statistics Modric would have everything on an individual level plus a ballon d'or
minus World Champion.
@@hammingus Yeah true. But being from Croatia, it is a pretty harsh thing to compare.

@@hammingus Yeah fully agree with you
Mate, he has 5 UCL titles already, 1 with bayern and 4 with madrid, and if they win this year against Dortmund it will be his 6th
Yup. 6th overall and 5th with Madrid
and now 6 titles wow
Difficult to say who's best. And it is also difficult to compare players from different eras so I look at midfielders who played in the last 25 years. All that come to mind have or had their own unique playstyle. I would certainly put him into the same bracket as Xavi, Iniesta, Modric and Pirlo.

Completely agree!
how to contact you brother?
7:20 💀💀
1.zidane
2.iniesta
3.xavi
4.modric
5.kroos 💙
You could name the video how good was Toni Kroos cuz bro was always in his prime
Bro prime Toni Kroos? He’s whole career is prime he won 6 UCL and many other trophies…
its criminal how Bayern treated him he is the quint essential midfielder doesn't give the ball away and can play a killer through ball anytime one is open any other team would kill to have him but the Germans would be germans
I know right. There can very well be a separate hypothetical video as to what would have happen if Kroos stayed at Bayern
The title is misleading. It should be - How good IS prime Tony Kroos?
Vedio On scanning
5 ucl mate
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed :)
he retired in his prime this year chiampion league laliga in his final season
great video but Barca won UCL in 2015 not Madrid...
Glad you enjoyed. And indeed, you are right :) Madrid went on a three-peat from 2016
Did you say 4 UCL?
he never left his prime lol
Kroos wasn't part of the team that won the 2014 UCL
Was??? He is still in his prime. He has been there since he was 17
germany did made mistake to not pick him in WC 2022. They paid their price.
Kroos had retired from international football briefly and made himself unavailable for selection.
Your video title should be how good is prime Toni kroos. Not was it's is ..
Prime Kroos? His whole career was prime .
he retired in his prime buddy
He is just do it right not good enough
Was❌
Is✅
He has 6ucl
Honestly kroos was never not in his prime
He only got better as he got older, so how good was prime Kroos? Slightly worse than the footballing god that retired a few days ago.
