Real Madrid star Toni Kroos reveals his favourite away stadium
Real Madrid star Toni Kroos says he was impressed by the atmosphere inside Celtic Park during the Champions League match against Celtic last week.
says he was blown away by the atmosphere at Celtic Park and has named Celtic’s stadium as his new favorite away stadium.
"
I<em>
was being asked several times which away stadium is my favorite, and there is a new number one. I can tell you, Celtic Park.
It has just been crazy. We came out and the atmosphere was good but then the Champions League anthem came up, and I thought the stadium would crash down.
"And then they did it again when they did the huddle. When we lined up for the team picture, I told David Alaba that it feels like we are already 2-0 down. Just insane!
"The first 20 minutes, they pressed incredibly on us and had chances. The fans pushed them even more. The fans kept going until the end, even when we scored the third, they were still pushing the team.
"And then they made changes near the end and the whole stadium got off their feet. The real special thing was, that not only did they push their team, but they also respected us. There was no hate. I am used to a lot over all those years but this really impressed me heavily. A great experience."
said Kroos on the Einfach mal Luppen podcast.
Real will face RB Leipzig in their second Champions League group stage fixture on Wednesday. Leipzig last week lost 4-1 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk.
