On June 7th, the Santiago Bernabéu will be the setting for a special occasion: the Classic Match, an annual tradition where Real Madrid legends face off against another historic club’s icons. This year, the spotlight falls on the showdown between the legends of Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. But more than the matchup itself, the day’s true highlight will be the emotional return of Toni Kroos, just a year after retiring from professional football.

The legendary German midfielder, whose elegance and consistency helped define a golden era for Real Madrid, will once again wear the white shirt and step onto the Bernabéu pitch that witnessed so many of his finest performances. It will be his first time playing in the stadium since calling time on his career, giving fans a perfect opportunity to show their appreciation in a festive, low-pressure environment.

Kroos will be joined by other club icons including Marcelo, Casillas, and Pepe, bringing together a dream lineup that has already packed the stands—every ticket for the event has been sold. The stadium will be full to honor their heroes once more.

Adding further meaning to the event, all proceeds will support the charitable initiatives of the Real Madrid Foundation. Football, nostalgia, and generosity will converge in what promises to be an unforgettable morning for everyone in attendance.
