Sunday's La Liga clash between Real Madrid and Eibar experienced a flying start thanks to Toni Kroos. The 30-year-old needed just 182 seconds to open the scoring for Los Blancos in their first league game in three months.
The classy finish produced by the German international began with Karim Benzema receiving an overhead pass from Casemiro on the left side of attack. The Frenchman then dribbled his way through a couple of Eibar players before laying a pass to Kroos who was waiting on the edge of the opposition's penalty area.
The former Bayern Munich star then dispatched a shot with precise technique into the top right corner of the visitors' post. Watch:
