Toni Kroos, a deep lying midfielder's direct goal contributions in UEFA Champions league knockout stages during Real Madrid's 3-peat era

A Thread :

When Real Madrid had to score three goals to qualify for next round, Kroos provided a crucial assist for Ronaldo's second goal and helped us equalise.

Technically an assist in the final for the only goal scored by Madrid. It was proven Ramos didn't touch the ball so it counts as an assist in my book.

This beautiful masterpiece which gave us lead against Napoli in the Bernabeu

Two assists in Italy against Napoli in the second leg, which destroyed Napoli hopes completely

A perfect shot on target from outside the box which led to a tapin for Isco against Atletico, again this was another very important goal contribution.

Even when Kroos didn't do it right, it helps Real Madrid. A mis-hit shot from outside the box which led to Casemiro goal.

Player made for Real Madrid

When we were a goal down at the Bernabeu against PSG, Toni Kroos won Real Madrid a a penalty and this goal paved the path for our victory.

Another Crucial goal

Toni being a deep playing midfielder managed to press the opponent and made him choose the option which led to a goal, simply a genius.

One of the biggest and high tensed semifinal in the history of UCL and Toni Kroos produced this accurate pass under immense pressure in the final minutes of the game which led to Penalty.

Also, I will mention this where Toni went to Ronaldo and said. "Even if u miss nothing will change" just to boost his confidence.

Leader

Black Magic assist

Toni Kroos who is known for his passing didn't pass this ball to his opponent and still it led to a goal, that's just black magic. As I said earlier everything Toni did during the 3-peat was for Madrid, even when it was a wrong pass.

In these three seasons Toni Kroos created 90 chances in UCL, more than any player in that period.

End of thread. If this gets a good amount interactions, I will do for other players too.
