Toni Kroos awaits exceptional match on Wednesday - he arrives with Madrid's "Real" club at the "Allianz" fortress, where the German has spent the largest part of his career so far.
On Wednesday, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final awaits the clash between Madrid's "Real" and Munich's "Bayern" clubs. The last match at the "Allianz" stadium brings back great memories for the "white" fans - in 2014, Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo's goals led to a crushing victory with a score of 4-0 and qualification for the final.
T. Kroos also remembers this clash, but back then he was on the side of "Bayern". One of the best safeties on the planet is sure that these will be exceptional matches, ones that could have been worth a final.
"Exceptional matches are awaiting us. I know this team and its players very well, so these matches make them exceptional. I will always be grateful to the Bayern club for what it gave me, but I don't have any special feelings for it anymore. We are awaiting two fantastic matches. This quarter-final clash could have been worth a final," said T. Kroos.
"I never regretted my decision to leave Bayern. I always wanted a new challenge, and joining Madrid's "Real" club was not a random choice. It will soon be three years since I've been in Madrid. The decision to come here was the right one and helped me to improve even more.
There is a good atmosphere in the team. I am happy that we have the opportunity to work with Zidane. Coaches always have a huge impact on their players. It's true that we had problems in the club before his arrival, but his arrival brought new winds to the team - in just a few months we were able to win the Champions League," concluded the German.
