Later this month, France Football will reveal the winner of the 2024 Ballon d'Or. Real Madrid are expected to be very close to the top end of the 30-man shortlist, with Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal all in contention for the prize
Toni Kroos is another who could win, despite his retirement. He was in spectacular form for Real Madrid during his final season as a professional footballer, though he told TVE (via MD) who is not interested in winning one more honor.
“The Ballon d'Or is not important to me. If someone from Real Madrid wins, I'm fine. Vini deserves it, Jude deserves it and Carvajal deserves it, but I don't care.”
Kroos also talked about how life was for him after that Real Madrid and football.
“I feel very good. If I decide something is this, I am convinced and I do it. This does not mean that it did not cost me. In the end it is only football, we suffer with other things in life.”
