Toni Kroos has earned another match before he hangs up his boots, as Germany's Euro 2024 title bid gains momentum.

One of the most decorated players in modern football with six Champions League titles and a World Cup, Kroos played a composed role as Germany triumphed 2-0 over Denmark on Saturday, anchoring the midfield with assurance.

Kroos recently clinched the Champions League with Real Madrid this season. Now, he is just three games away from potentially lifting one final trophy, possibly facing his Madrid teammate Dani Carvajal from Spain in the next fixture.

Fans are already looking ahead to the final in Berlin and chanted about reaching the German capital as Germany secured the victory.

Similar to another Real Madrid legend, Zinedine Zidane in 2006, Kroos is concluding his illustrious career at a major tournament on home soil in Germany.

He came out of retirement from international duty in February for this last tournament. Each match Germany plays in the knockout stages could potentially be his last in international football.

Despite a thunderstorm, hail, and determined resistance from Denmark on Saturday, Germany ensured that the 34-year-old midfielder will play on. Germany will face either Spain or Georgia in the quarterfinals on July 5.

Zidane reached the 2006 World Cup final with France, only to be sent off for headbutting an opponent and losing to Italy. Kroos and Germany, however, still have hopes of securing victory on home soil and winning their first major trophy since Kroos and his teammates lifted the 2014 World Cup.

Prior to the Denmark game, Germany had not won a knockout game in a major tournament since Euro 2016. The victory underscores the feeling that Germany is finally turning things around under coach Julian Nagelsmann after years of disappointment.

Nagelsmann took charge last year with the goal of delivering a successful campaign for the host nation at Euro 2024, and he has already extended his contract through the 2026 World Cup.

The decision to extend Nagelsmann's contract in April was largely influenced by morale-boosting friendly victories over France and the Netherlands. Since then, Germany remains unbeaten in six matches, including pre-tournament friendlies.

"I'm proud of the team," Nagelsmann remarked on Saturday. "They're starting to realise their true potential."
