Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has said the club's decision to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus last summer "made everyone happy."
The Portuguese forward made the surprise move to Italy after spending nine years at Los Blancos, where he became the club's all-time record goalscorer.
While Madrid endured a torrid term following the departure of their star man, Kroos said that at the time, the choice was one that made sense for all parties, per SportBild (h/t Daniel Lewis of Goal).
"It would be strange if you didn't miss someone like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has decided so many matches with his goals," he said.
