Rodri was focused, like any footballer before a decisive match. Spain was preparing to face Portugal in the World Cup round of 16, and FIFA’s cameras followed every gesture of the midfielder.
Until they captured one no one expected: the Ballon d’Or winner picked his nose and, unaware that he was being filmed, ate what he pulled out.
The clip went viral almost immediately. The comments were soon filled with jokes: “Everyone does things like that when no one is watching”, wrote one user, while another asked whether it might be “a strange sign of good luck” for the match. Amid the laughter, many agreed on one thing: even the most serious stars have their human moments.
