Kroos insists Real Madrid team spirit remains strong

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has rubbished reports of cliques inside the locker room.

There's been claims of rifts between the Spanish players and the foreigners at Real.

But Kroos told BILD: "Here, no one is full of their own self-importance. There are no aloof or cocky players, or divas. It's like being part of a family business which works."

On his relationship with Real fans, Kroos added: "In Munich, people tend to keep their distance. Here, they go crazy whenever they see a Real Madrid player."
