Real Madrid Castilla coach Santiago Solari enjoyed a successful start to life as interim manager of Los Blancos after a 2-0 victory against Real Valladolid yesterday.
The 42-year-old Argentine had been appointed to the position following the sacking of former boss Julen Lopetegui.
Despite being back to winning ways under Solari, Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos sent out a very strange tweet after the match.
"We won a league game yesterday," he tweeted.

How odd, right?
Maybe it's the way that someone can read into it, but the 28-year-old German doesn't seem to be overwhelmed at the fact that Madrid have picked up their first league win since a 1-0 victory over Espanyol in September.
Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring for Solari's side in the 83rd minute before Sergio Ramos doubled that lead from the spot kick.
Madrid have moved up to sixth place and are on 17 points, though La Liga leaders Barcelona are seven points clear of their rivals.
Los Blancos are on the hunt for a new manager after the dismissal of the former Spain boss, with Belgium coach Roberto Martínez and former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte emerging as top targets.
The Belgium manager, however, has since broken his silence on the matter and talked about the interest from Madrid.
