German star Toni Kroos refused to end his career with Real Madrid without recording special moments, by winning the Champions League for the 15th time in the history of the Royal Club.
Kroos participated in Real Madrid’s victory over Borussia Dortmund with two unanswered goals, in the final held at Wembley Stadium in the English capital, London.
Fate was kind to Toni Kroos
Kroos did not perform at the expected level during the first half of the European final, as he was not fully focused, and he made more than one mistake that almost cost Real Madrid a goal and made the match difficult for them.
Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois shone and blocked an opportunity for Borussia Dortmund, which was caused by Toni Kroos.
Fate refused to allow the end of Kroos’ career with Real Madrid to be a bad memory, so the score remained clean without conceding goals during the first half.
The Borussia goalkeeper denied him the goal twice
In the 49th minute of the match, Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gergor Koppel stood in the way of Toni, who shot a direct free kick, but he blocked it brilliantly.
The same ball was repeated in the final minutes of the match, as Kroos shot a direct free kick, which Coppell successfully blocked and turned into a corner.
Deciphering Borussia Dortmund
Despite the excellent defense by the Borussia Dortmund stars in the final match, Kroos succeeded in deciphering those defenses, after he succeeded in creating the first goal for Real Madrid.
Kroos sent a wonderful cross from a corner kick, putting it on the head of Dani Carvajal, who succeeded in directing it past Dortmund goalkeeper Coppell brilliantly in the 74th minute of the match.
Kroos showed great enthusiasm during his substitution in the 86th minute of the match, as he bid farewell to Real Madrid fans and his fellow players after his decision to retire at the end of the current season.
