By Jack Spedding Modified 14 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Toni Kroos discusses the atmosphere during Real Madrid's visit to Celtic Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has described the atmosphere in his side's clash against Celtic last week as like nothing he has ever experienced.

Speaking to Einfach mal Luppen, Kroos attempted to describe the atmosphere in Glasgow for the occasion, as he stated (per 67 Hail Hail): “I was being asked several times which (away) stadium is my favourite. And there is a new number one, I can tell you, Celtic Park. It has been just crazy. We came out, and the atmosphere was good." He added: “The Champions League anthem started, and I thought the stadium was going to collapse. Incredible, I had never experienced anything like that. After the game, everyone applauded. Totally Celtic, of course, but nothing hostile or disrespectful. That was very, very, impressive. When we lined up for the team picture, I told David Alaba that it feels like we are already 0-2 down. Just insane." Real Madrid were given a real scare in the first half when the hosts hit the post, but the European champions' quality eventually showed. Goals from Vinicius Junior, Luka Modric and Eden Hazard silenced the crowd and gave the Spanish side a comfortable 3-0 win. Madrid Xtra@MadridXtra Toni Kroos: "Celtic Park?

Carlo Ancelotti admits Real Madrid were worried about Champions League clash with Celtic

Last week's clash at Parkhead was between two sides who had made unbeaten starts to the season. Celtic were riding the wave of a 4-0 victory over bitter rivals Rangers and made an excellent start to their clash with Real Madrid. Ancelotti claimed his side "suffered" in the first-half, but his players remained largely calm throughout. The legendary Italian boss said (via The Mail): "Celtic is a good team. We were worried about the game because we knew what they did against Rangers. We suffered in the first half but it was normal to suffer here. The atmosphere at the stadium is fantastic. We are happy to show good football to these supporters." Ancelotti was asked if he was angry with Real Madrid's first-half performance, to which he replied: "I wasn't angry. I can't get angry with this team. It is true that we struggled but in the end we got there."B/R Football@brfootballEden Hazard vs. Celtic:
