Toni Kroos, the German midfielder of Real Madrid, recognized the superiority of PSG in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League (1-0). In his in his weekly podcast “Lober, quite simply”, which he hosts with his brother, Toni Kroos, established a factual but sharp observation.
“I think we can say that we were less good for at least 75 minutes, recognizes the German international. We played very badly behind and, when we managed to get out, we couldn’t keep the ball for more than five seconds”. A hollow way of admitting that he and his teammates were completely suffocated by the Parisian dry cleaners.
“The game didn’t go well. That’s why we considered the 0-0 draw a victory,” he sighs. It is therefore almost a lesser evil that Real Madrid conceded only one goal on the lawn of the Parc des Princes.
Even if Mbappé’s goal is incredible, it strengthens Kroos’ confidence in a possible turnaround at Santiago-Bernabeu on March 9. “It’s a result that can be transformed, especially at home, adds the Madrid player. We have high hopes for the second leg. We still have 90 minutes and, of course, we will give everything”.
Leader of the Spanish championship with a six-point lead over Sevilla FC, Real Madrid has two games to regain its moral health before the reception of the Parisians. The first will take place this Saturday on the lawn of Rayo Vallecano at 6:30 p.m. The second will be played on March 4 with the reception of Real Sociedad.
