Toni Kroos Returns to the Bernabéu as Special Guest for Real Madrid-Villarreal

Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos will make a special appearance at the Santiago Bernabéu during the club’s match against Villarreal. This will be the first time the German midfielder attends a Real Madrid game since his departure from the club. Kroos shared his thoughts on the current state of the team and reflected on the challenges faced during his time in Madrid.

Kroos Reflects on Real Madrid’s Challenges

Toni Kroos, speaking ahead of the match, opened up about how fans sometimes misremember the struggles he faced with Real Madrid. “People always pretend that Real Madrid won all the games 4-0 with me… that’s wrong, to be 100% fair,” Kroos said. He pointed out that, while Real Madrid is known for its success, the journey has often been filled with challenges.

The German midfielder emphasized that Real Madrid’s dominance was never guaranteed, saying, “We’ve often struggled with me, you can’t forget that.” Despite this, Kroos was quick to highlight the resilience the club has shown in overcoming difficulties, particularly after the departure of key figures.

Adapting to Transitions at Real Madrid

Kroos also addressed the current situation at Real Madrid, which has faced difficulties after the departure of other key players like Karim Benzema. He compared this to when Real Madrid adapted following the exits of legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos.

“Real Madrid has adapted when Cristiano Ronaldo left… or when Sergio Ramos left, as they’ve always adapted to that and stayed winning,” Kroos remarked. He reminded fans that the club’s winning mentality remains intact, even in the face of these transitions. “We won the UCL twice without, for example, the two mentioned… although they were and they’re absolute legends.”

Toni Kroos’ return to the Bernabéu is a special moment for Real Madrid fans, as the former midfield maestro shares his candid reflections on his time at the club and the current challenges they face. While acknowledging the difficulties, Kroos remains confident in Real Madrid’s ability to adapt and continue their winning legacy, just as they have done in the past.
