In the final friendly match before Euro 2024, Germany had a tough match against rival Greece.

On the German side, although he did not directly contribute to the goal, Toni Kroos was the most prominent player.

During his 90 minutes on the field, the 34-year-old left behind impressive statistics such as 6 successful duels, 5 tackles, 6 accurate long passes, reaching a passing accuracy rate of up to 97. % and create 3 good opportunities for teammates.
