Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos claims he was both ‘surprised’ and ‘impressed’ by Champions league final opponent Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp’s side booked a place in may 26 showpiece in Kiev by triumphing over Roma 7-6 on aggregate while Real beat bayern 4-3 over two legs.

“They are not there for nothing,” Kroos said of Liverpool. “This team surprised me against Manchester City, and impressed me very much.

“It’s one match, and we are very much looking forward to it. We will travel to Kiev to win it, and even if that’s a set phrase it worked pretty well in the past two seasons.

“I don’t know if you can achieve that by just playing well.

“You must have that certain something in Champions League games, because many teams have the quality.

“Somehow, we just show up for that stage. It’s hard to explain, and maybe that’s in the club itself and every player gets a bit of that.”

Liverpool’s last appearance in a champions league finals was eleven years ago when they lost out to Italian side AC Milan while Real Madrid are making their third consecutive appearance in a competition they like to call their own.
