Toni Kroos has hailed the culture at Real Madrid.

The midfielder says he was immediately embraced by Real when arriving from Bayern Munich.,

Kroos said, "When I arrived, the whole club - not just my teammates and coach - and the fans transmitted towards me a feeling of happiness because of the fact that I was with them. That's not normal.

"In Germany, you have to play well first before they're happy with you, but at Real Madrid, I had the feeling that they were already happy with me there, whether I play well or not. That made me feel good and gave me confidence to play well from the start."
