"In the final it will be worse", the warning to Kroos from Saudi Arabian fans

Last Wednesday Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid in the semifinal of the Super Cup, the tournament that brings together the four best teams of the last season in Spain. Carlo Ancelotti's side achieved an important 5-3 victory in a memorable match, which allowed them to advance to the next phase, where they will face Barcelona, who beat Osasuna 2-0 in the other semi-final.

However, not everything was positive for Los Merengues. After 21 minutes of the second half, Toni Kroos came on to replace Luka Modric and from that moment until the end of the match, every time he touched the ball he was whistled and booed by most of the fans at the Al Awwal Park stadium in Riyadh. They do not forgive the German midfielder's criticism of the players who decided to go to Saudi Arabia last year. "People have even commented that they play ambitious soccer there, but it's all about the money. Going to Arabia is a decision for the money and against soccer," he said during an interview with Sports Illustrated:

The fans' reaction didn't seem to bother Kroos, who after the match said, perhaps ironically, "It was fun today! Unbelievable crowd." But considering that on Sunday Real Madrid will play there again, in this case the final of the tournament against Barcelona, many are worried that this could be repeated.

In an interview with Marca newspaper, Carlos Baldó, honorary president of the Real Madrid supporters club in Saudi Arabia 'Blancos KSA' spoke about this issue and said: "In our club there was almost no booing of Toni, but the rest of the stadium is something we can't control. The speaker we have was during the whole game saying to cheer for Kroos and to forget everything. That this is soccer and not to mix it with politics."

He is not optimistic

When asked if the same thing could happen on Sunday against Barcelona, Baldó said: "I am convinced that in the final it will be worse because they are talking in the Arab social media to boo more. What's more, if Kroos scores the celebration will be very small and people may boo him".
