In response to the fans that heckled him during Real Madrid’s Supercopa victory in Saudi Arabia, Toni Kroos tweeted, “that was fun.”
After saying in the past that moving to the Middle East is “against football,” the World Cup-winning former Germany international was the subject of jeers on the terrace, with former Real teammates like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema having already gone down that route.
“It’s been said that they play ambitious football there, but it’s all about money,” Kroos noted in the past. Ultimately, it’s a financial decision made against football. The absence of human rights would make me unable to travel. Kroos discovered on his most recent outing with the Blancos that the fans in that region are not ready to forget or forgive.
Real Madrid defeated rivals Atletico 5-3 in a dramatic Supercopa match that took place in Saudi Arabia for four of the previous five seasons. As the win set up a final versus Barcelona or Osasuna, Kroos was allowed to get the last laugh. He responded to jeers on social media with, “That was fun today!” Incredible group of people.
