Real Madrid star Toni Kroos is a living testament to the notion that household challenges know no socioeconomic boundaries.

Despite his status as a marquee midfielder for the La Liga club, Kroos recently encountered a domestic issue that resonates with people from all walks of life.

Kroos found himself dealing with an unwelcome guest—a rat that had made its way into his home.

In the video shared on social media by Football Espana, Kroos can be seen guiding the intruder towards a trap he had strategically placed in his top cupboard.

During the lighthearted incident, Kroos's partner, Jessica, can be heard asking if he needed gloves, adding an extra layer of amusement to the situation.

The video captured the footballer's comical close-up as he successfully handled the unexpected rodent intrusion.

Fans have wasted little time reacting to this unexpected glimpse into the 2014 FIFA World Cup winner's domestic life.

Fans reaction to Kroos' act

@GettyCristiano, seemingly concerned about Kroos' posture during the rat-catching endeavour, humorously remarked,

"Bro almost rolled his ankle on the top of that chair. Missing a game for chasing a mouse would have been crazy."

@MrFacts011 quipped,

"The mouse couldn’t believe it was found 💀."

@Smallz_beatz, enchanted by the atmosphere of the midfielder's home, commented,

"His house is nice, though."

@Isha488 humorously pleaded for help, stating,

"Help 😭 the Mouse stare is killing."

@_svdeeq reacted hysterically to the captured scenario, posting,

"😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂."

In the end, the incident served as a reminder that even football stars like Kroos are not immune to everyday challenges.

Kroos blasts Veiga

Sports Brief earlier reported on Kroos terming Gabri Veiga's move to Al-Ahli as "embarrassing".

Veiga had a breakout 2022/23 season, which attracted some top clubs in Europe, like Napoli and some in England. However, Al-Ahli won the race for his signature.

The 21-year-old is set to become the latest star from a European club to join Al-Ahli. This summer alone, they have signed Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, Roger Ibanez, Allan Saint-Maximin, Franck Kessie, and Merih Derimal.
