Toni Kroos, although retired, continues to attract attention with his statements. He was a key player for Real Madrid for years, but after last season he decided to retire and end his football career.
Kroos is confident in Real Madrid's title
The former German midfielder is convinced that Real Madrid will win La Liga again this season. Although Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are both competing in the title race, Kroos does not see much room for doubt in Real Madrid's victory. In his eyes, Barcelona is in third place, while he believes that Atletico will win second place.
"Real Madrid will win La Liga. I have no doubt about that at all," Kroos said, confirming his faith in the quality of his former team. He further added: "There will be a battle for second place between Atletico and Barcelona. I believe that Atletico will win that battle."
The 34-year-old could not resist criticizing Barcelona either, telling them that victories over his ex club should not be seen as trophies. "As usual, Barcelona will celebrate their victories over Real, but honestly, it's not a trophy. If they want to be at a high level, they have to change their mentality," added the German midfielder.
The battle for the Spanish league title will certainly last until the last round, as Real Madrid is currently at the top with 50 points, Atletico has 49 and Barcelona 48. However, some doubt Atletico's ability to win the title, but he is convinced that his former club is the best.
Toni has won numerous accolades with this club in the last ten years, including five Champions Leagues and four Spanish league titles. In addition, he has played 465 games for the Royal Club, scoring 28 goals and providing 99 assists.
Modrić and Kroos: An unforgettable duo
Unlike Kroos, Luka Modrić is still active, and it is possible that he will continue to play next season. At 40 years old, Modrić is still a key player for the team. Kroos considers him the perfect partner on the pitch. "We didn't need words. We would understand each other on the pitch without words. Good players don't need them, they read the game and that's the most important thing," he concluded.
