Toni Kroos trolls Real Madrid Twitter handle

Real Madrid’s official Twitter handle tweeted a video of Toni Kroos speaking with the club on returning to training. Kroos, as always being witty with his words, responded comically. The Germany international questioned the need for a subtitle in Spanish despite the fact that he was speaking in the same language.

The video was accompanied by two sub-titles - English and Spanish, which did not go unnoticed by the 30-year-old. Toni Kroos often speaks in English. His former Real Madrid teammate and Arsenal midfielder Dani Ceballos asserted that he was yet to understand Kroos’ preference for English although he speaks Spanish well.
