Real Madrid star has Cristiano Ronaldo doubts: He thinks Gareth Bale is better
REAL MADRID star Toni Kroos reportedly feels Gareth Bale should be the club’s talisman - not Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid brushed aside fierce rivals Atletico Madrid 3-0 last night.
The Spanish giants are edging closer towards becoming the first club to retain the Champions League in its modern format.
However, all is still not well following their 3-2 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico this month.
And Spanish outlet Diario Gol claims Toni Kroos still harbours doubts about Ronaldo.

However, the 27-year-old was full of praise for Ronaldo after his Atletico heroics last night.
"It's great to have a player like Ronaldo," he told BT Sport.
"You can play well in defence, you can control the middle but you need a player who can score to get the result.
"He scored five of six goals in the quarter-finals [against Bayern Munich] and here another three – it's unbelievable."
