TONI KROOS will rightly go down as one of the all-time great midfielders.
And tomorrow night, the Real Madrid star can bring down the curtain on his glittering club career with one more piece of silverware.
Kroos, 34, announced earlier this month he was going to retire from professional football after this summer's Euros - where he'll face Scotland - with a desire to go out at the very top.
Incredibly, Germany star Kroos is set to finish with a mind-blowing statistic of 92 per cent average passing accuracy throughout his WHOLE career.
The former Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder - who has won 108 caps for Germany - has an average passing average of 93.6 per cent with Real Madrid.
No wonder Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has said that replacing Kroos is "difficult if not impossible" because he is one of the best passers of his generation.
