Kroos gets Bernabeu send off as Real Madrid draw with Betis

La Liga champions Real Madrid played to a goalless draw with Real Betis as retiring midfielder Toni Kroos made his final appearance at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The German international, who will retire from professional football after Euro 2024, received a guard of honour from both teams before the match and was substituted in the 86th minute to a standing ovation from the entire stadium.

Kroos has won 22 trophies during his decade with Los Blancos.

Betis thought they had scored in the first half when Johnny Cardoso found the net from close range after Juan Miranda’s free-kick, but Marc Roca was ruled offside in the build-up.

Willian Jose also had a near-post finish disallowed for offside after the break.

Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo missed chances for the hosts, leading both teams to settle for a point in their final league match of the season.

Attention now turns to next Saturday’s Champions League final (20:00 BST) at Wembley, where Carlo Ancelotti’s side will face Borussia Dortmund in their quest for a 15th European title.
