The German midfielder enjoyed an excellent campaign in Brazil, playing a starring role in their World Cup win which culminated with a 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina.<\/p>\n
Kroos, who finished the tournament as the leading creator with four assists, confirmed after the final in the Maracana that he would indeed be leaving Bayern Munich for Real.<\/p>\n
