Germany’s Toni Kroos was a man on fire vs. Scotland

Is Toni Kroos absolutely, positively sure that he wants to retire from Real Madrid?

The former Bayern Munich prospect does not look like he has lost too much off of his fastball (as we like to say here in the United States) and played a vital role in decimating Scotland during the German national team’s thoroughly impressive 5-1 victory in the EURO 2024 opener.

How good was Kroos? Well, let the numbers tell the tale:

The scary part is that Kroos was really even better than his passing accuracy would suggest. The 34-year-old was vital in Germany’s build-up and helped the squad quickly transition to the attack, which overwhelmed Scotland.

Clearly, Kroos still has much to offer on the pitch.

Looking for more thoughts and analysis on Germany’s massive EURO 2024-opening win over Scotland? Good, because the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show has you covered! We’ve got takes on Julian Nagelsmann’s lineup, the brilliance of Toni Kroos, Germany’s relentless attack, and why Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala are probably winning over a lot of new fans.
