Kroos has rediscovered top form this season.

If you've watched Real Madrid play this season, you've seen Toni Kroos rediscover his second youth, delivering at a truly high level reminiscent of his prime for Real Madrid. Kroos has turned 34, and before this season, there were doubts about how much influence he would have. The season started with limited playing time for him, but he has reclaimed his starting position, and now he is one of the key players when Carlo Ancelotti sets his starting eleven.

Toni Kroos in La Liga 2023/24: 
◉ 19 games 
◉ 1 goal
◉ 6 assists 
◉ 36 chances created 
◉ 94.3% pass success 
◉ 32 tackles

When considering the significant offensive qualities Real Madrid possesses, it's somewhat surprising that Toni Kroos is, in fact, the most chance-creating player for Madrid in La Liga. He leads several passing statistics in La Liga and is also among the players with the most key passes this season.

Most chances created for Real Madrid in La Liga 2023/24: 
◉ Toni Kroos (36)
◉ Rodrygo (30) 
◉ Federico Valverde (28) 
◉ Luka Modric (27) 
◉ Jude Bellingham (27) 

Toni Kroos' contract expires in the summer, and Kroos himself has stated that retirement is a potential option. However, Carlo Ancelotti hopes that Kroos will play one more season, and given the level he is currently performing at and the playing time he is getting, it seems most realistic that he will stay with the royal club for another year. Madrid's goal this season is to win La Liga and the Champions League, where Kroos' experience will once again prove beneficial for them.
