Schuster: Kroos is now a diesel tractor Real Madrid Harsh words after a big loss

Former Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuster was critical of the players after the 3-0 Clasico loss to Barcelona on Wednesday.

Toni Kroos and Raphael Varane were the biggest victims of his words, with both suffering at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the semi-final clash.

"That midfield couldn't even win against Girona's," he scathingly said to El Transistor. "Kroos is now a diesel tractor."

When discussing the problems at the Bernabeu this season, it's hard to overlook Cristiano Ronaldo's absence.

"Madrid are missing goals," Schuster added. "They lost the best scorer in their history this season."

Raphael Varane is one of the world's best in his position, but Schuster was not impressed by his performance.

"He's a shadow of what he was," Schuster said. "He was always badly positioned."
