Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos was happy to prove their Champions League matchwinner this week.

Kroos played his 100th game in the Champions League on Tuesday night as Real Madrid beat Galatasaray 1-0 in Turkey. The German spoke after the game about the team's current form and his own fitness after a so-so start for the side.

"We started the season poorly and the Champions League is no exception," he said. "The victory was important to think about the last 16 and we are all together with the manager. We win and lose together. We don't play for Zidane, we don't play for one person. We play together."

"We know we have to improve seeing what we did against Mallorca," he continued. "In Istanbul, we did improve but there is space to get better. We should have score two more. Sometimes we aren't as bad as you see us."
