While his future at Real Madrid is not yet sealed, Toni Kroos continues to impress in the Madrid midfield. Unlike Luka Modrić, now a substitute, the 34-year-old German has had a string of good performances, like against Leipzig a few days ago. Riquelme, Barça legend and now president of Boca Juniors, does not hide his admiration for Toni Kroos. The former Albiceleste midfielder even compared him to the most elegant tennis player, Roger Federer.

“Kroos is the closest thing to Federer in tennis. They can play ball and go home without taking a bath. It’s the same thing. It’s incredible. The guy doesn’t throw his feet, he doesn’t get dirty, he doesn’t sweat…” he testified on the microphone of TNT Sports Argentina. Riquelme also admires Jude Bellingham, whom he finds “at a fabulous level”.
