Diego Simeone has admitted that Real Madrid have improved from last season with the arrivals of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos.

The duo came in this summer to add some flair to the Blancos midfield, whilst Keylor Navas signed from Levante.

And ahead of the Supercopa tomorrow evening, the Colchoneros boss has conceded that their city rivals have got better since last term.

“Madrid [have] improved,” he told a Press conference.

“Kroos gives them greater potential in the middle of the field, more balance. It is a lot better than last year's team.”

The Argentine tactician also highlighted the financial gulf between the two capital outfits.

“We've got seven or eight players with €95m, they bought two with €95m.

“There's a little difference. But the club has always had this creativity. We are forming the group, but the group is not just 11 players but 18 or 20.”
