‘He lied to us’ - Toni Kroos on motivation from Real Madrid head coach

The midfielder and leader of the Real Madrid, Toni Kroos, team spoke about the motivation from the head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti.

As reported by Cope, the Italian specialist told the team before the match against Mallorca that if they won, they would become La Liga champions.

"Last week, before the game against Mallorca, Carlo told us that if we win – that's it, we've taken the title. But after we beat Mallorca, he told us: 'I lied to you.' We will become champions if we beat Barcelona next week," Kroos said.

He also added that this El Clásico was not a great match; both teams did not play convincingly. According to him, if Real had played well, they would have won 4-0.

It is worth noting that Luka Modrić, who will turn 39 in October, would like to extend his cooperation with the royal club for another year, and he would be happy if offered a new contract.
