Kroos, who has retired from active football, spent the best years of his career at Real Madrid, playing alongside some of the biggest names in the sport.
His time at the club was marked by incredible success, with numerous trophies and individual accolades.
Ronaldo, in particular, is a legendary figure at Real Madrid, holding the record for most goals scored with an astonishing 450 goals in 438 games.
During his time in Spain, Ronaldo won 15 trophies, cementing his status as one of the greatest players in the club's history.
Kroos' selection of Ramos and Modric is also telling, as both players were instrumental in Real Madrid's success during his tenure.
Ramos, a fierce competitor and skilled defender, won numerous titles with the club, while Modic, a creative force in midfield, was a key playmaker for the team.
