Real Madrid have started the season on a high note, scoring 16 goals in six games so far. The Whites have also won every match.

Focus on Toni Kroos. The German midfielder was criticized last season and was often cited as the most exhausting player in the trio of Casemiro, Luka Modric and Kroos.

Kroos has started the season in great shape and is in control of the game. In his first Champions League match, Kroos played near perfect against Celtic, who are known for their excellent pressing.
Below, Squawka highlighted how good his stats from the game are.

This equates to his 96% passing percentage, and perhaps most notably, just 12 of his 136 touches failed to pass the ball.

According to fbref, those figures underpin his start in La Liga, where he's fifth in progressive passes and second in final third passes.

The increased competition in midfield has clearly brought out the best in Kroos, looking back at his prime again.
