Real Madrid's Toni Kroos stirred up controversy by expressing his delight in winning the La Liga title at the expense of bitter rivals FC Barcelona. The midfielder made these comments during an episode of his podcast, where he stated that the victory was 'twice as good' due to Barcelona's loss to Girona.
Madrid secured the La Liga crown by defeating Cadiz 3-0, while Barcelona suffered a 4-2 defeat to Girona in a Catalan derby. Kroos recounted how he almost left the stadium when Barcelona took the lead but decided to stay, witnessing their eventual defeat.
