“We’ll win later, it doesn’t matter” - Real Madrid star Toni Kroos’ savage claim after kick-off delay during 2022 Champions League final resurfaces
Real Madrid superstar Toni Kroos' savage response to news that the Champions League final was delayed in 2022 has recently resurfaced. The German is a serial winner, looking set to lift the trophy for an unprecedented sixth time today (June 1) against Borussia Dortmund.
Los Blancos head into the final with a swagger that can barely be explained by neutrals or opponents. They are unbeaten In Europe this season and have already lifted La Liga and the Supercopa de Espana at a canter.
Toni Kroos often embodies the cool swagger evident in that team and footage of his response to manager Carlo Ancelotti might prove prophetic again. Ahead of their UCL final against Liverpool in 2022, an issue with supporters entering the stadium led to a delay in the game. The Italian manager informed the team of kick-off being moved, saying:
"They have postponed the game, it starts at 21:30.”
Kroos however calmly responded:
"We'll win later, it doesn't matter.”
With confidence clearly not a problem for the 14-time winners then and now, fans and neutrals alike will now shoulder the nerves of the occasion. Real Madrid will be looking to win their 15th crown at Borussia Dortmund's expense today and look confident of doing so.
