“You had 90 minutes and you come up with two sh*t questions”- Toni Kroos snubs off a reporter after the Champions League 2021-22 final

It was celebration time for Real Madrid after they won yet another Champions League – but Toni Kroos had his mood dampened by an interview with German TV.
The Germany international was a key part of his fifth Champions League win as Vinicius Jr’s second-half winner saw Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Liverpool in Paris. Liverpool had 24 shots compared to Real Madrid’s four but could find no way past a well-organized defense marshaled by the man of the match Thibaut Courtois.
After the game, ZDF quizzed Kroos on whether the game turned out as expected and whether he was surprised they were forced to soak up so much pressure against Jurgen Klopp’s side. And Kroos did not take too kindly to what he deemed to be “negative” questioning from his homeland, storming out of the interview after losing his patience with the reporter.
What was Toni Kroos asked after the Champions League final win?
Kroos was asked whether the game went as expected and if he was surprised that Real had to soak up so much pressure against Liverpool. The 32-year-old responded by saying: “You had 90 minutes and you come up with two s*** questions. Two negative questions, you can tell right away that you’re German.”
What else happened after the Champions League final?
Kroos was not the only Real player to have a tetchy post-match interview. Man-of-the-match Courtois used his BT Sport interview to settle some scores with fans from England, who he believes don’t rate him.
“I saw a lot of tweets saying I would get humbled,” the former Chelsea keeper said. “It was the other way round. Today I needed to win a final – for my career, for all the hard work, to put respect on my name because I don’t think I have enough respect, especially England. I saw a lot of criticism that I was not good enough or whatever.”
