Toni Kroos has enjoyed his first months with Real Madrid.
The midfielder moved to Real in the summer from Bayern Munich.
"I know what it feels like to play in a side which has so much individual talent," said Kroos.
"And I've had the good fortune to come from a club where the demands they make of you were also huge. I like being at Real Madrid. The club, though many might find it hard to believe, is very like a family; we are all close. We try hard for perfection, obviously, but the main thing is to win our matches."
