The Madridista spoke of his encounter with the Portuguese in the podcast he has with his brother Félix, "Einfach mal Luppen." “I played with him for four seasons and I am not exaggerating when I say that of course I have had the greatest successes with him and thanks to him. We were locker room neighbors (they changed next door) all the time. So of course I was glad to see him again. He's long gone and we don't see each other that often. We don't play against Juventus, ”said Toni.

Regarding the meeting with Cristiano, he revealed what they said: “We spoke briefly about the game, of course, but also about the games that are to come. I wish them the best of luck and I hope they qualify for the next round with us. Other than that I asked him how he is doing in Italy, he has been there for three years. You don't have all the time in the world after the game and you don't go unnoticed. Once inside, we also change the shirts. It was nice to see him again ”.

Kroos also met another former teammate, Pepe, with whom he coincided for three seasons: “Pepe is also an outstanding guy who sometimes seems very wild on the field and he doesn't seem so nice, but he is totally so off the field. And Cristiano exactly the same ”.
