Real Madrid are all set to be the ‘best’ team in European football.

While Mbappe’s move to Madrid remains all but done, fans are excited at the prospect of the Frenchman teaming up with Toni Kroos .

The German midfielder joined the Los Blancos in 2014, and has been an indispensable element of their midfield ever since.
