“I really enjoyed playing by your side. It’s truly been an honor to share Real Madrid’s center-field with you. You have qualities that make you a unique and special footballer, and there will never be another Toni Kroos.
“Unforgettable European nights, titles, the magic of the Bernabéu….we will never forget this golden time in the club of our lives. You achieved everything but we still have one left, let’s go for the 15th. I’ll miss you my friend,” wrote the Croatian on Instagram.
