Real Madrid was able to extend their winning run to five matches thanks to a 2-0 victory against Granada. This was accomplished despite the fact that Real Madrid has been plagued by injuries throughout the season.
Toni Kroos was one of the players that was instrumental in the success of this team and had a significant part in its execution. During the course of his mastery of the Real Madrid midfield, the German displayed an impressive level of control and calmness.
After the victory, Andriy Lunin expresses his admiration for Kroos.
Andriy Lunin, the goalie for Real Madrid, took a moment shortly after the win to express his admiration for the unwavering excellence of Toni Kroos, the master of the midfield position.
“What Kroos did is not surprising; he has been playing this way for 15 years,” said Lunin, who was starting in between the sticks ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga. “Kroos has been playing this way for 15 generations.”
Lunin, who was present during Kroos’ masterclass, made the following remarks, stating that the German was, without a doubt, one of the most impressive performances that evening.

Poetry in motion
At the same time as he was able to control the midfield with ball circulation and the ability to trick past the opposition’s second line of press, Kroos was simply a “poetry in motion” Granada.
Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the former Bayern Munich star was able to break through the Granada defense and contribute to the opening goal. However, he also seemed to be quite at ease playing in the middle of the field with Federico Valverde; the combination play that they display seems to be getting better with each passing day.
It is possible that the presence of Toni Kroos will be of great assistance to Real Madrid in maintaining their advantage at the top of the table. This is because Real Madrid continues to experience regular injuries to its elite players.
In contrast, Lunin had a night that was completely unremarkable when he faced Granada. In the most recent games, the Ukrainian has shown excellent form; nevertheless, since Kepa is applying pressure, he will continue to be under to criticism in the weeks to come.
