VIDEO: Kroos thanks Bayern fans as son scores at Real Madrid game

The German midfielder faced off against his old club in Europe's premier competition and shared a special moment following the game

Former Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos lined up against his ex-club on Tuesday evening as his current side Real Madrid progressed into the semi-final stage of the Champions League.

The Germany international, who established himself in the Bayern first-team as a product of the academy, started for Real and played for 114 minutes until he was replaced by Mateo Kovacic in extra time.

Controversial refereeing decisions overshadowed the Champions League clash in the Spanish capital, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring two offside goals and Bayern's Arturo Vidal harshly being sent off with minutes left of normal time.
