Cristiano Ronaldo and Toni Kroos had an enviable connection at Real Madrid

Toni Kroos and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were together at Real Madrid for four seasons, had excellent on-field chemistry. Kroos knew just how valuable Ronaldo's goals were and continuously scanned for his runs. Ronaldo, too, used to depend on him for support, often giving the ball to him in a deeper area before dashing into the box to ask for a return. More often than not, Kroos found his teammate with a delicious lobbed through ball over the top. Cristiano Ronaldo@CristianoWell done, lads! And a very special thank you to our supporters!
