Club Career Highlights
Starting at Bayern Munich
For the 2007–08 season, at age 17, Kroos joined Bayern's main team. He had an amazing start in the Bundesliga. He played his first game for Bayern on September 26, 2007. It was a 5–0 win against Energie Cottbus. He helped Miroslav Klose score two goals within 18 minutes of coming into the game.
When he first played, Kroos was the youngest player ever for Bayern in a professional match. This record was later broken by David Alaba in 2010. On October 25, Kroos helped Bayern win against Red Star Belgrade in his UEFA Cup debut. He came on as a substitute and assisted a goal for Miroslav Klose. Then, he scored the winning goal himself, which was his first for the club. He played 20 games for Bayern in his first season. He also scored three goals in 12 games for Bayern Munich II.
Even though he started Bayern's first game of the 2008–09 Bundesliga season, Kroos didn't play as much in the first half of the 2008–09 season. However, on November 5, 2008, he played his first UEFA Champions League game.
Loan to Bayer Leverkusen
On January 31, 2009, Bayern let Kroos join Bayer Leverkusen. This was an 18-month loan so he could get more experience playing in the first team.

Kroos became a regular player for Leverkusen in the 2009–10 season. He played in almost all of their Bundesliga matches. Between December 2009 and January 2010, he scored five goals and made four assists in five Bundesliga games. This earned him "player of the month" awards. He finished the season with nine goals and 12 assists in 33 matches.
Return to Bayern Munich

The national coach, Joachim Löw, praised him for his excellent passing and technical skills.

At the Euro 2012 tournament, Kroos played as a substitute in all three of Germany's group matches. For the semi-final against Italy, Löw asked Kroos to mark Italy's key player, Andrea Pirlo. Germany lost the match 2–1, and this decision was criticized.

Later International Career and Retirement
On June 4, 2018, Kroos was included in Germany's squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. On June 23, Kroos scored a free-kick goal in stoppage time against Sweden.

Style of Play
"How Toni distributes the ball, how he receives it, is very good. He's technically excellent ... He has made progress in the last few matches, I'm extremely satisfied with the player."
Kroos is a tall and athletic midfielder who uses his right foot. He is seen as one of the best midfielders of his time. He is known for his long and very accurate passes. He can create goals with his passing and crossing from set-pieces. He has been called a "modern attacking midfielder" who is "dynamic and hardworking." He is also praised for his physical strength and ability to play in different midfield positions.
Kroos often played in the centre as a deep-lying playmaker. He could also play as a defensive midfielder. This was because he could stop opponents' attacks, keep possession of the ball, and create chances for his teammates. Earlier in his career, he played further forward. But as he got older, he played deeper. One of his special moves was taking a quick first touch past an opponent when he received a pass under pressure. This helped him get past players and find space, even though he wasn't very fast. This move was called the "Kroos shuffle." Kroos has many different types of passes. He can control the midfield with short, accurate passes or start attacks with longer passes.
Johan Cruyff, a famous former player, said about Kroos's performance at the 2014 World Cup: "He's doing everything right: the pace in his passes is great and he sees everything. It's nearly perfect."
Personal Life
Kroos married his long-time girlfriend, Jessica Farber, on June 13, 2015. They have two sons and a daughter. He owns a house on the island of Mallorca.
Kroos has spoken out about important social topics. In March 2021, he said it was "wrong" for the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar. He mentioned concerns about how migrant workers were treated. He believed footballers should bring attention to these issues. In 2023, he also shared his thoughts on players moving to the Saudi Pro League, believing it was mainly for money. He said he would not move to that country due to human rights concerns. This led to him being booed when he played in the 2024 Supercopa de España, which was held in Saudi Arabia.
