Kroos shared his thoughts on Acerbi's performance on his podcast, saying that if he had to choose between an alarm system, a German shepherd, and Acerbi as a guard for his house, he would pick Acerbi. Kroos attributes this choice to Acerbi's strong mentality.

Kroos also praised Inter's Denzel Dumfries and Alessandro Bastoni, saying they were instrumental in turning the game around twice. He commended Barcelona as well, describing their match as an "extraordinary advertisement for football" due to its unpredictability.

Kroos revealed that despite not being an Inter fan, he has developed a certain affinity for the team over the past decade. He was pleased when the score was 3-3 and admired Barcelona's style of play, which he credited to Hansi Flick's coaching.

Kroos noted that both teams knew how to hurt each other, with Inter defending well and scoring seven goals.
