Toni Kroos compares "emptiness" felt after loss to Spain to the pain of losing the Champions League final in 2012
Briefly

Losing an highly competitive, end to end football match hurts. Losing it in the final minute of extra time hurts more. Experiencing defeat in football finals can be devastating for players and fans alike.
The burning disappointment of losing on penalties to a below par Chelsea FC team on home turf, the Allianz Arena, was utterly nightmarish for Bayern.
Perhaps Germany can show similar resilience and bounce back from this disappointment to extraordinary success in the 2026 World Cup.
