BERLIN, March 23 (dpa/EP) –
Real Madrid’s German midfielder, Toni Kroos, is clear that an extremely difficult tie with English Chelsea awaits them in the quarterfinals of the Champions League and where they will have to be “very good” if they want to go through.
“They are the current champions of the Champions League, so it couldn’t be more difficult, there could hardly be a bigger stumbling block, but we have to focus on ourselves and if we play well, it is possible to do many things. We have to try to be very good. because that is what we will have to be to reach the semifinals,” Kroos admitted on the podcast he has with his brother Felix.
In this sense, the Madrid player acknowledged that “probably no one wanted PSG in the round of 16, and probably no one wanted Chelsea in the quarterfinals.” “But that’s the way things are and we have to accept them,” he settled.
