Toni Kroos apologized for the tackle that injured Pedri, causing a knee sprain that might keep him out of EURO 2024. Kroos emphasized that it wasn't his intention to hurt him and wished him a speedy recovery and the best for the rest of the tournament.

"Sorry and get well soon, Pedri!" Kroos wrote at the end of a farewell letter after his last match, ensuring the message reached Pedri via Instagram.

"Obviously, it wasn't my intention to hurt you. Wishing you a quick recovery and all the best. You're a great player," Kroos added with heartfelt words. The German midfielder abruptly stopped a counterattack started by the Spanish player 3 minutes and 30 seconds into the match, causing the injury that prevented Pedri from continuing in the Quarter-Finals.
