During yesterday's Super Cup of Spain semifinal against Atlético (5:3), held in Saudi Arabia, fans booed Real Madrid's midfielder Toni Kroos.

This is attributed to the fact that the legendary German had previously criticized Saudi Arabia for its lack of human rights, its treatment of the LGBT community, and the very idea of holding the Super Cup on their stadiums.

However, what surprised everyone even more was Kroos's response to the incident. After the game, he posted a message on his social media with the text: "That was fun today! Amazing crowd".

In the two previous seasons, the Spanish Super Cup was also played in Saudi Arabia, and in the 2020/21 season, matches were held in Spain due to COVID restrictions.
