Toni Kroos
Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has announced on his social media that he will retire after the upcoming UEFA Euro, which will be played this summer. Therefore, his last game for Real Madrid will be the Champions League Final against Borussia Dortmund.
The German legend left a long announcement message on his Instagram account, part of which went like this:
“My ambition was always to finish my career at the peak of my performance level. From now on, there is only one leading thought: go for 15!!! HALA MADRID AND NOTHING MORE!”

Olivier Giroud
The French talisman will no longer compete in the national team kit, having announced his retirement from international duty. Giroud’s decision means Euro 2024 will be his last time dancing with France.
“Obviously, I’m going to miss it a lot, but I need to cede. my place for the young players”, Giroud told L’Équipe.
He conquered the Champions League, Europa League, Serie A, and FIFA World Cup. Will Euro 2024 be his final shot with the team?
Leonardo Bonucci
Italy’s captain has won more Serie A titles than Burnley and Sheffield United combined have won Premier League games this season. He has nine Scudetti to his name and more shields than the knights of the Round Table.
Last year, Bonucci announced that he would be retiring at the end of this season, but that was when he was still at Juventus, before his little jaunt at Union Berlin and, now, Fenerbahce.
Joe Hart
Hart is a Manchester City legend; there’s no getting around it. He served 12 years and brought two Premier League titles to the blue half of Manchester.
The England keeper has just announced his retirement from the game after a three-year stint at Celtic, which he’s loved. In fact, the man’s words were used: “What an absolute club.”
