Real Madrid midfielder Kroos announces international retirement
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has announced his international retirement with Germany.
Kroos, 31, says he now wants to devote his career fully to Real Madrid.
He declared this morning: "I have played 106 times for Germany. There will be no next time.
"I would have loved to see, and I did everything I can, that it would eventually be 109 games, supplemented with the European title. I decided a long time ago that I would stop after the European Championship.
"It was clear to me that I would not make myself available for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, especially as I want to fully focus on my goals with Real Madrid in the coming years."
