Real Madrid midfielder Kroos: We played badly at PSG

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos admits they weren't good enough last week at PSG.

Real lost the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie 1-0 in Paris.

Kroos said on his podcast: "I think you can say that we were worse for at least 75, 80 minutes. We played very badly from behind and when we came out, we couldn't keep the ball for more than five seconds.

"Those are two things that make it difficult to defend against a team which is superior. Then unfortunately you run after them more than you would like.

"It's a result that can be turned around, especially at home. We have high hopes for the second leg.

"The tie is 1-0 at half-time. We still have 90 minutes and of course we will give it our all."
