Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos said is it "normal" for the club to have dropped off this season following their recent success.
After three consecutive UEFA Champions League wins, Los Blancos will finish the season without a major trophy for the first time since the 2014-15 campaign.
Per AS, Kroos said: "It's true that this season, things haven't gone as well as we would have liked but, after three incredible seasons, it's normal to go through what we are going through at the moment. Now, all we can do is continue working hard so we can return to win again next season.
