Boca Juniors president Juan Roman Riquelme admits he's a fan of Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.

Riquelme says Kroos is among the best performing players currently in Europe.

The Villarreal great said: "Kroos, the German ... he is the closest thing to Federer playing tennis.

"He can play ball and go home without sweating. He is the same, an incredible thing. He plays ball, he doesn't throw himself at the feet, he doesn't get dirty, he doesn't sweat ... "

Riquelme also said of Kroos' Real teammate Jude Bellingham: "I like '5' from Real Madrid. He looks like Zidane, the new Zidane. H eis very good."
