Real Madrid playmaker Toni Kroos admits he is delighted to have contributed to the team's 3-1 win over Napoli with a goal but says he is not obsessed with trying to score with more regularity.
The hosts found themselves trailing early on after Lorenzo Insigne struck in the eighth minute but a first-half header from Karim Benzema, a clever finish off a Cristiano Ronaldo cross by Kroos and a superb volley from Casemiro sealed the first-leg victory.
Despite their two goal advantage, the German international is adamant that a their current aggregate lead will not be enough and believes they will need at least an away goal Stadio San Paolo in three weeks' time.
"I am very happy to help the team, in this case with a goal, but it is not my main characteristic, I play as a midfielder and what I have to do is to provide assists," he said.
"Every now and then I have a shot on goal, but I do not obsess about it.
"It will be difficult to win at San Paolo, the two goal advantage will not finish the tie, and we will have to get at least one goal to be in the quarter-finals."
Real Madrid return to La Liga action when they take on Espanyol on February 18.
