Kroos on defeat against Barcelona: "A draw would have been fair"

Toni Kroos believes a draw would have been fairer in 'El Clasico' that Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in La Liga. The German often speaks on the podcast he shares with his brother Felix, 'Einfach mal luppen', with clear opinions that have cost him some controversy. For example, after saying that he does not feel sorry for Eden Hazard's situation, he was accused of being too hard on his teammate.

In any case, and returning to his comments on the match against Xavi Hernandez's side, he said: "It's difficult for me to review this match except that, in the end, of course, it was a bad result. At least I'm of the opinion that a draw would have been fair, even if it wouldn't have been a good result for us in terms of qualification. So, it's even worse. It would have been possible to do better, that's what we have to reproach ourselves for. We were too relaxed after our goal.

On whether Ancelotti's side's chances of winning La Liga are already gone, he added: "Nobody is saying that yet. Of course, we know that we have two other competitions where our chances are better. But, in La Liga, there are still too many games left.

"However, the goal will always be to win them, regardless of whether or not something is written off now. That's why it's not necessary to write off anything now. Why? It would be normal if, in the end, we are not champions. But that doesn't mean we're going to give away every game from now on," he added. It is clear, if it was obvious, that Real Madrid will hold on to every possible scenario.
