Toni Kroos Hails Germany’s Historic 7-1 Triumph Over Brazil
Toni Kroos was rightly named Man of the Match following Germany’s stunning 7-1 demolition of Brazil in the first semi-final of the 2014 World Cup. The Bayern Munich midfielder, who scored twice in the remarkable victory, spoke with a broad smile to the press after the game, admitting the scale of the win was beyond belief.
“We put in a wonderful performance against the host country. We would never have believed it if we had been told before the match,” said Kroos. “A match like this, in Brazil, in the World Cup semi-final, is perhaps one of the best matches of my career.”
As Kroos prepares to leave Bayern Munich for Real Madrid, his focus now turns firmly to Sunday’s final, where Germany will aim to secure the ultimate prize. “My only goal now is to win the final with the Nationalmannschaft,” he added.
Germany’s commanding display in Belo Horizonte will be remembered as one of the most extraordinary in World Cup history — and Kroos was at the heart of it.
