Valverde: “Rüdiger is crazy, but he’s a nice crazy person”

Farewell to Kroos. “It took me by surprise, I expected Tony to last for many years but the fact that he is retiring at this point shows what a good player he is. Few people choose to retire during their moments of glory, and that is a credit to them. When talking about Tony, I am always at a loss for words. Playing with him was a dream for me and I’m very sad to see him go at the perfect time. And off the field it’s even better because he’s incredible as a person. An example for me in every way.”

Champions League Final. “Alarmed, we’re very excited.”

Doncic. “We saw this at home. Ugh, crazy! The previous game too. Entertaining”.
