Toni Kroos admitted that it will be too much of an advantage for him and his teammates.
Real Madrid and Manchester City will be in action for a crucial Champions League quarterfinal this month. It will be the biggest clash of this season. Ahead of this tie, Toni Kroos makes his opinion on this rivalry.
Real Madri and Man City both faced each other in the last two Champions League knockouts. Madrid won the 2022 knockout fixture and City won the 2023 knockout game. The winner of this game eventually won the trophy.
Both European giants will meet in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid have a nine-day break ad Man City will play two extra fixtures. Madrid failed to qualify for the Copa del Rey final so they get extra time.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola recently admitted his frustration and he believes that it gives Real Madrid a significant advantage for the first leg in the Spanish capital.
Toni Kroos now talks on this matter during his podcast. He admitted that it will be too much of an advantage for him and his teammates.
He said, “We’re not used to not playing for nine days. If you ask me today, it suits me very well. It won’t be a disadvantage for us, but I don’t know if it will be a big advantage. We’re all used to playing every week.”
