Toni Kroos is the best corner taker in world football at the moment

In a team having Ronaldo, Bale and the likes of Asensio, it is no surprise that an absolute maestro like Toni Kroos does not get the attention he deserves. An expert at taking corners and long-distance free-kicks, Kroos' accurate delivery from set-pieces has often been the difference between a win and a draw for Los Blancos.

In the 2016/17 season, Real Madrid scored an incredible 26 goals from set-pieces with Kroos taking the majority of them (105 out of the 168 corners). When players like Modric and Isco make way for someone to take the set-piece, you know that his delivery is going to be almost perfect every time.

In fact, the combination of Kroos and Ramos bagged 7 goals for Real last season and the Madrid captain has been among the first to praise Kroos' incredible set-piece taking abilities.

One of the best midfielders in the world, Kroos is also undoubtedly among the best set-piece takers in the world at the moment.
