Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos abandoned his post-match interview yesterday evening after helping his side beat Liverpool in the Champions League final.
The German collected his fifth winners' medal in this competition following Los Blancos' triumph, though was not in a party mood when chatting to one reporter after the match.
Asked initially to share his view on if he believed Madrid's victory was ‘not taken for granted’, Kroos snapped back: "What is taken for granted? Winning the Champions League is also not taken for granted. We put up a great fight and we knew that Liverpool are a great team. What does ‘not taken for granted’ mean? We won. Finished."

The situation then escalated further when the 32-year-old fielding a question on whether he was surprised he and his team-mates were put under a lot of pressure by the Reds during proceedings. Pulling no punches with his response, the Madrid midfielder said: "You had 90 minutes to think about sensible questions. And then you ask me two s****y questions. That’s crazy.
"It’s not surprising that you get into trouble against Liverpool. What is that a question? We’re not playing a group game somewhere, we’re playing the Champions League final."
Kroos then decided to terminate the interview with German broadcaster, ZDF, before sharing some parting words as he walked away. "It’s really bad. Really bad, really," he remarked. "First you ask three negative questions. You already know that you come from Germany."
