But it wasn’t Ronaldo, Benzema or Isco who was highlighted as the biggest threat to the team’s chances.
If Liverpool wants to overcome Madrid they should fear Toni Kroos more than Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League final according to a football pundit working for Redmen TV.
“If Madrid can bypass your midfield, you’re in trouble,” he told their Youtube channel.
“You’ve got Ronaldo’s movement, Benzema coming to the ball, and Isco’s fantastic on the ball. But if you step out and press Kroos, he’s already passed beyond you. I’d say Kroos is a player that’s actually press-resistant because he’s so good on one-touch, two-touch, even three-touch. He’ll receive it and move it, so if you go to press him he’s already played around you, Isco’s between the lines and you’re done. That’s been the key thing for Real in the run to this final.”-later he added.
The German international has played for the Spanish since 2014 and could prove to be the key player for Madrid.
