Toni Kroos has posted on Instagram ‘looks like there is a big game ahead’, as he prepares for Liverpool v Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
The 32-year-old is going to be a sure starter for Carlo Ancelotti in Paris and part of a terrifying Madrid midfield trio – Luka Modric, Casemiro and Kroos himself.
Liverpool have their own midfield three that can match up and boss anyone in the world, but will they be fit?
Jamie Carragher brought the ‘good news that Fabinho is training ahead of the Champions League final – but will Thiago Alcantara join him?
Nonetheless, this was the message German star Kroos sent ahead of the Champions League final.
THE GAME COULD BE WON OR LOST IN MIDFIELD
It’s absolutely paramount that Klopp has Thiago fit and available for him in the Champions League final because the game could be won or lost in the midfield.
Yes, Madrid have the lethal and in-form star, Karim Benzema up front and the Reds have a formidable and deadly front three.
But it does seem as though whichever midfield runs the show, they might just walk away with the biggest domestic prize of them all.
Either way, it will be a showdown of epic proportions and a game where the Merseyside giants will want revenge for that defeat a number of years ago.
