Toni Kroos, who retired last season at the age of 34, had revealed on his podcast with his brother that he would attend the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal. However, at the Bernabéu, his presence wasn’t officially acknowledged until the 50th minute, when he received a standing ovation from the entire crowd. In a fitting moment, Fede Valverde dedicated his goal to Kroos. After scoring the match’s opening goal, Valverde pointed to the box where Real Madrid’s iconic No. 8 was seated, paying tribute to the club legend.
