Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has played down his influence within the locker room.

Kroos insists he doesn't regard himself a 'leader'.

"Generally-speaking I don't like to be a leader," he said, "but it's true that I always try to take responsibility when I step onto the pitch.

"Because of my position it's always been like that. My style of play requires me to be on the ball a lot. It's impossible not to be involved."
