He was one of the players likely to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or trophy at the end of the 2023-2024 season.
Metronome of the Real Madrid game, he shone in several matches and also at Euro 2024 as a back-up playmaker for the German selection.
Toni Kroos, the former midfielder of the Madrid club, who was in the last season of his career during the 2023-2024 financial year, was very successful.
Some observers even placed him among the players who could win the Ballon d’Or if Germany had gone further during the Euro.
The team led by Julian Nagelsmann stopped in the quarter-finals after being eliminated by Spain, the tournament winners.
From this elimination, the name of Toni Kroos gradually disappeared among the players who could claim the Ballon d’Or.
For the former German international himself, winning the individual Ballon d’Or trophy is not something important.
The former Bayern Munich player indicated that he would already be very happy if a Real Madrid player managed to lift the trophy.
In other words, the German hopes that one of his former teammates can win the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Like several observers, Toni Kroos is also banking on the duo Vinicius and Bellingham or Carvajal to win the trophy this year.
“The Ballon d’Or is not important to me. As long as a Real Madrid player wins it, I’ll be happy. Vini Jr deserves it, Bellingham deserves it, Carvajal too”declared the former Bavarian.
