Toni Kroos, a German midfielder, has just officially carved his name into Euro finals history with an unbelievable performance.

 After defeating Hungary 2-0 in the second round of the Euro 2024 group stage, the German team officially qualified for the elimination round.

6 points after two games and a spot in the first knockout round is a significant endorsement from the Tank about the doubts that fans have expressed about the strength of the army commanded by Julian Nagelsmann.

Furthermore, the current triumph for the German national team represents a key milestone for Toni Kroos, the midfielder who the Germans are constantly pleased to have developed over the last decade.

Toni Kroos completed 124 effective passes against Hungary in the encounter (only Xavi Hernandez had more, with 127), propelling Kroos to the status of a player with many passes. The second-most successful pass in a single match in Euro finals history.
