Toni Kroos retired from football in 2024, marking the end of an incredible tenure.

CM - Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidane leaves a great impression on the Real Madrid fanbase, not just for his playing days but also during the start of his managerial career. As a player, Zinedine Zidane is one of the greatest midfielders in the history of the game. Known for his incredible touch and stride, Zizou redefined what it meant to be a midfielder, during his five years as a Real Madrid player.
