Kroos rehashes last year's feud against Mount with mocking gesture after Champions League clash
Real Madrid took revenge on Chelsea's for last year's Champions League semi-final after knocking the Blues out of the competition in this year's quarter-final stage.
Ahead of this tie last season, Toni Kroos had played down the threat Chelsea posed: "In my 15 years playing football, I never lost sleep," he said, when asked to comment on if Chelsea scared him.
In response, Mason Mount had said after Chelsea advanced to the final: "I saw one of their players say before that he doesn't lose sleep over individuals. But as a team, they need to lose sleep over us as a team. We give so much, we defend for our lives."
Kroos responded to Mount's comments on Twitter:
Still sleeping ok. But well done yesterday. congrats. Good luck in your first CL final. https://t.co/XTbtIkCXys
