Euro 2024: In how many European Championships has Toni Kroos participated and emerged victorious? Additionally, how many goals has he managed to score during these tournaments?

Nagelsmann is hoping for a fairytale ending for Toni Kroos as he looks to guide Germany to Euro 2024 success. The Real Madrid midfielder recently announced his retirement from the sport and is aiming to finish his career on a high by winning the European Championship on home soil.

Kroos, who has already achieved great success in his career with multiple Champions League titles and a World Cup win, has never won the Euros with Germany. He has represented his country in three previous tournaments and Euro 2024 will be his fourth and final chance to lift the trophy.

The midfielder first featured in the Euros in 2012 and was also selected for the 2016 tournament. After initially announcing his retirement from international football following Euro 2020, Kroos made a comeback earlier this year and is expected to feature in his home country for one last time.

If this is indeed Kroos’ last appearance for Germany, it will mark the end of an era for the midfielder. He has had a successful career and has been an integral part of the German national team, particularly in their 2014 World Cup triumph. However, he has never been able to replicate that success in the Euros.

In both the 2012 and 2016 tournaments, Germany reached the semi-finals but were unable to progress further. Kroos and his teammates suffered heartbreak in the semi-finals, losing to Italy in 2012 and hosts France in 2016. Despite the disappointment, Kroos was recognized for his performances and was named in the team of the tournament in 2016.

In the most recent Euros, held in 2021, Germany were knocked out in the round of 16 by England. It was a disappointing exit for Kroos and his team, but he will be hoping to make amends in Euro 2024.

When it comes to scoring goals in the European Championship, Kroos has yet to find the back of the net. Out of his 17 international goals for Germany, none have come in the Euros. However, he has been able to contribute in qualifying matches for both Euro 2016 and 2020.

As Kroos prepares for his final tournament, he will be determined to give himself the perfect ending to his career by winning the Euros with Germany. With the tournament taking place in his native country, the stage is set for a fairytale finish for the German legend.
