All Madrid fans were left with yesterday’s night. Especially since it was Kroos’s last game, always offering a masterful performance on the field. As a person and as a footballer. Joselu got us to go to London and Dani got the Cup to be in Madrid today. They are two good examples of Madridismo. It explains a lot of what Madrid has achieved in these years.
