Real Madrid star Toni Kroos has seemingly thrown his support behind the European Super League.
The Super League has been revived in his recent weeks with a new proposal that involves 60-80 teams, although that is expected to exclude English teams.

There has been a lot of criticism towards the new Super League over the past couple years, but Kroos feel it can bring the passion back to football.
"I think we will see the Super League. And I believe so for several reasons. The idea of the Super League has changed and deserves to be heard," Kroos said on his podcast Einfach mal Luppen.
"If you look carefully from both angles, you will see that UEFA is by no means a great Samaritan for football fans and that the Super League has no plans, at least in the second attempt, to exclude any team, because there will be no permanent founding members.
"It is a sports competition, an open tournament, but managed by the clubs and not by UEFA, because these clubs believe that they do not need UEFA for that. I think this deserves at least one chance
"Although we have already talked about the loss of passion for football, I believe that the Super League has the opportunity to reverse that situation. Let there be more enthusiasm and emotion for the games that we will be able to see. "
"Because in the end, let's not fool ourselves, many people always say: 'Who wants to see Real Madrid against Manchester City every week?' But have you gotten tired of watching Federer against Nadal over and over again? I don't. That's my opinion," he added.
