Toni Kroos (above in the video) raves about England star Jude Bellingham ahead of the German national team's European Championship opener. "He's 20 now, but he feels much more mature - on and off the pitch. You often have to ask how old he really is," he says of his Real Madrid team-mate.

"He was already very important at Real in the first few weeks. England's European Championship hopes are rightly pinned on him. Nevertheless, I hope that England will eventually call it a day at the tournament," smiles Kroos.
