Toni Kroos was a former Bayern Munich player earlier in his career, but when he returned to the Allianz Arena as a Real Madrid player, the German midfielder was booed. After Bayern Munich looked dominant for the first 20 minutes of the match, Madrid started to touch more of the ball thanks to Kroos. Then the German midfielder punished the Bayern fans who booed him as he played a perfect pass to Vinicius Jr, who was one on one with Manuel Neuer, and the Brazilian scored. The goal was produced by that amazing pass by Kroos as Real Madrid took the 1-0 lead.
Another angle of the goal shows how Kroos knew when to play the ball to Vinicius when he saw the open space behind Kim Min Jae and Dier. Kroos tells Vinicius to start making the run, and once the Brazilian does, the German midfielder sends the ball into the space. Real Madrid took the lead after converting their first clear chance of the match in Germany.
Before the semifinal against Bayern Munich, Kroos had made a total of 459 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions, where he scored 28 goals and provided 96 assists. Kroos won four Champions Leagues, five FIFA Club World Cups, three La Liga titles, four UEFA Super Cups, a Copa Del Rey trophy, and four Spanish Super Cups with Real Madrid.
Before Kroos arrived at Real Madrid in 2014 from Bayern Munich, the German midfielder made many appearances for Bayern. Kroos made 205 appearances in all competitions for Bayern Munich, scoring 24 goals and providing 49 assists. When Kroos played in Munich, he won a Champions League trophy, a FIFA Club World Cup, three Bundesliga titles, one UEFA Super Cup, three German Cups, and one German Super Cup.
