Toni Kroos wasn't pleased by a question from a German journalist after Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League final.
The TV reporter asked his compatriot whether he was surprised that Liverpool had dominated the game, but his question didn't sit well with Kroos who expressed his frustration.
"You've had 90 minutes and you come up with two such bad questions," replied the Real Madrid midfielder, before walking away.
Why was Kroos frustrated about the post-Champions League final question?
A few days after the final, Kroos referred to the incident on his Einfach mal luppen podcast, where he talks with his brother Felix about various topics every week.
"You can ask 'How did you see the match?' and I wouldn't have said that we had them against the wall from the first minute to the 90th," said Kroos.
"I'm the first to say it was an even game and Liverpool probably had a few more chances. But, we won the game, as we have many times in recent months.
"Instead, he wanted to hear me say that we won unfairly. I don't give a s**t in a final, you just have to win it.
"At that point I was just pissed off. I was pissed off at him.
"Of course, we had to go through two or three phases of pressure, I also told him that when he asked the question.
"But that's normal. What do you expect, that we dominate Liverpool for 90 minutes? They are a world-class team. We had to beat them and that's what we did."

I will continue to say this if it was Liverpool goal that was ruled out for offside the whole world now will be saying Madrid bought the referees but now no one wants to talk about it. Liverpool was the lucky team

Toni is right. The whole universe is against Real Madrid because of their unsurpassable greatness; now they are trying to establish this baseless narrative "Madrid didn’t deserve it/Madrid were lucky". But honestly who cares? We have the trophy and the rest have more shots, passes, possessions and anything else you would like to add.

Real Madrid deserves respect,they deserve win.It doesn't matter how they play or how their performance is.If they win,they are Champion.Refrees were also fair in UCL for Real Madrid and his opponents.How can someone says they don't deserve it if they had beaten all big four teams with many difficulties?
