WHAT HAPPENED? Toni Kroos commented on how impressed he was with the atmosphere inside the storied Celtic Park last week as Real Madrid kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 3-0 away win.

WHAT THEY SAID: "Celtic Park? The UCL anthem started and I thought the stadium was going to collapse. Incredible, I had never experienced anything like this. I told Alaba: 'We are already losing 2-0!'" explained Kroos on the Einfach mal Luppen podcast.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Los Blancos made the perfect start in trying to defend their Champions League crown despite a buoyant Celtic Park spurring on the hosts, with Celtic managing to keep the game scoreless until the 56th minute when Vinicius Junior's goal opened the floodgates.
