Germany won on their Euros debut, the stat that shows how difficult it will be for Real Madrid to replace Kroos

EURO 2024 is underway, and Germany impressed many as they defeated Scotland 5-1 at the Football Arena München. One of the best players on the pitch was Toni Kroos, who will retire from professional football after the EUROS tournament ends. Real Madrid and Germany fans are upset about his decision to retire in July, as he is still one of the best midfielders in the world. A stat that proves his quality is the pass accuracy he had against Scotland today. Kroos completed 101 passes out of 102 passes attempted, which puts him at a 99% pass accuracy today. It is the highest completion rate on record since 1980 for any player to attempt 100 plus passes in a game at the EUROS, according to Opta Joe. He created four chances for Germany as a deep playmaker next to Robert Andrich. Kroos played 80 minutes in the Germany vs Scotland match. Real Madrid and their fans are starting to realize how much the loss of Kroos in the team will be next season as his composure and passing accuracy are unmatched. Kroos will have two more games guaranteed as they will face Hungary next on June 19th and then against Switzerland on June 23rd.

Germany started the game on fire, and in the 10th minute of the match, Florian Wirtz scored the opener for Germany and EURO 2024 as his first-time finish went on target and hit the post thanks to the goalkeeper’s attempted save; it led to the ball going in. Jamal Musiala scored in the box in the 19th minute to make it 2-0 for Germany. Kai Havertz scored a penalty in the 45th minute as he shot it in the middle.

In the 68th minute, Niclas Füllkrug scored to make it 4-0 for Germany with an amazing strike. Scotland got a goal back as Antonio Rudiger scored an own goal past Manuel Neuer in the 87th minute. In the 93rd minute, Emre Can scored from outside the box to make it 5-1 to Germany and seal the impressive win in Munich.

Toni Kroos did not win Man of the Match

Despite Toni Kroos’ incredible performance, the German midfielder did not win the Man of the Match award. That award went to Jamal Musiala, who scored the second goal for Germany and completed the most dribbles in the match with five. Kai Havertz had a great game as well as he scored a goal and provided the assist for Musiala’s goal.
