Toni Kroos
Toni Kroos has not decided where his future lies but his teammates are hoping he chooses to stay at Real Madrid after his Champions League masterclass against Bayern Munich.
The experienced 34-year-old German midfielder shone for Real in their 2-2 semi-final first leg draw at his former stomping ground in Bavaria on a gripping Tuesday night.

Kroos's contract expires in the summer after a decade with the record 14-time Champions League winners. "I want to win as much as possible this season - I don't think about the future," he said after the game.
Looking beyond obvious standout Vinicius Junior, who netted both of Madrid's goals against Bayern, Kroos was Madrid's finest player in a match where Los Blancos could have been beaten.
Vinicius's strike-partner Rodrygo said he would love Kroos to stay. "We always tell him [Kroos] to stay, not just one but many years more, age doesn't matter," Rodrygo told Movistar. "He's so masterful, with such class, I love playing with him, I hope he keeps going."
