Toni Kroos, German international midfielder for Real Madrid, stated that in the moment of crisis that his team is going through, defeated today by Villarreal, "the goal is to qualify among the top four" and be in the next edition of the Champions League.
When asked if Real Madrid considers the league as lost or will fight until the end, 16 points behind Barcelona and with the leader still to play, the German midfielder was realistic and set the goal of finishing among the top four.
"First, we have to think about our current position. We have to focus on qualifying for the Champions League next season, I think that should be the goal for the rest of the season," he said to Bein Sports USA.
"Because being 16 points behind is being really far away, and it's not the time to think about anything other than the next match and earning points to get closer to Real Madrid's goal of qualifying among the top four," he added. EFE.
