Toni Kroos also explained the reason behind Real Madrid’s absence during the FIFA Ceremony, “that’s why you couldn’t see Real Madrid anywhere at the gala. I also boycotted it. I didn’t get any awards.” Kroos went on about the controversial FIFA Best Player award, “In a year like this, after the World Cup, that tournament is always an important point when it comes to awards.
