Those present thrust them- selves in the middle of the action: the drenched players, the German President and the Chancellor. But what’s truly unique about this image, which captures this moment forever, is not apparent upon first glance. Someone is sitting alone on the bench, untying his shoes: Toni Kroos. It’s an image that appears to be in character for Kroos’ unique brand of modesty, which for the longest time gave him the reputation of someone who failed to stand out enough. Today, he plays for the world’s biggest club and has won almost all there is to win. He is the most successful German footballer of all time and, if you go by Instagram and his 23 million followers, he has more fans than all other Germans.
