Have exchanged us: Kroos reveals Ancelotti's doubts

"Not normal," whispered David Alaba in the middle of the celebrations DAZN expert Sandro Wagner in the ear, but then we went straight to the jubilee photo with the entire team. Nobody could really grasp what had happened in the minutes before. Nobody in the stands, none in the real jersey - and probably none in the dress of Manchester City.

The Santiago Bernabeu has once again experienced a spectacle, the third in this Champions League season. Karim Benzemas Hattrick within a few minutes against Paris St. Germain, the 3-2 defeat against Chelsea, which was sufficient for the semi -finals - and on Wednesday evening Rodrygo's double strike in added time, which was crowned in extra time - of course - by benzema.

Ancelotti's large proportion

Real Madrid had already left with one and a half legs, Riyad Mahre had supposedly buried all residual hopes for another comeback from the Blancos after 73 minutes, but only supposedly. Because as so often, there was a magical night in Madrid. "We were out 26 times during the knockout phase and fought ourselves 26 times," Toni Kroos somehow tried to find the right words for what you can't actually explain. "It is sometimes difficult to explain, even for me."

Kroos also praised the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, which, despite the current renovation, has lost nothing in his magic. "This is the belief, this is the stadium, the combination is magical," says the 2014 world champion, who also emphasized the work of coach Carlo Ancelotti. "The coach had a few doubts about whom he is bringing. We exchanged. He is just so that he is getting us in, it just describes him well. In the end he decides." And as Ancelotti decided, hero Rodrygo was the first player the Italian brought from the bank.

Alaba: "Know what Liverpool is playing for a season"

Meanwhile, Alaba spent the entire game on the bench, the Austrian could not participate because of an adductor injury - and was also very flaw. "You can't believe this somewhere, but on the other hand you can't be surprised. I have repeatedly emphasized what we are capable of," said the Austrian, who emphasizes the "special character" of the royal.

This has now led to the final, on May 28th the new edition of the final from the 2017/18 season will increase against the Reds. At that time, Real won 3: 1. It remains to be seen whether it will run again. In any case, Alaba warns of the English: "We also know what Liverpool is playing for a season. This will be an easy task."

It will be the 17th Champions League final of the royal, 13 of the previous 16 could be won. "We know the situation to stand in the final. We have done this a few times in the past," said Kroos, who would like to put the Henkelpott up for the fourth time in the real jersey.
