Real Madrid midfielder, Toni Kroos has slammed organisers of Ballon d’Or for picking Manchester City as the Team of The Year over the La Liga giants.

Los Blancos striker, Benzema won the the footballer of the year award after his sensational campaign, while Thibaut Courtois was recognised as the best goalkeeper.
Kroos, a six-time Champions League winner, took to Twitter to question City’s win.
“3rd best team in 2021/22 – happy Real Madrid??” said Kroos.
The German clearly feels his side deserved the award but there was plenty of other cause for celebration for the Spaniards at the prestigious ceremony
