While Antonio Rüdiger, who was briefly absent due to a muscle strain during the Clasico against Barcelona, was back in training with Real Madrid, a hilarious move against Kylian Mbappé went viral on social media.
With four days to go until the crucial Champions League clash against AC Milan, Rüdiger is back on the training pitch. The tough, combative German centre-back approached training with a fighting spirit, ready to bolster Real Madrid’s defence. But during one challenge, Rüdiger tried to stop Kylian Mbappé in an extremely aggressive manner.
The in-form Frenchman first managed to take out Lucas Vázquez before facing the German defender. Mbappé humiliated Rüdiger with a simple but devastating dribble. He then passed the ball to Dani Ceballos, who deflected it to Fran Garcia for the goal. Football fans were quick to react, particularly on social networks.
Even if Rüdiger is one of Real Madrid’s best defenders, this sequence is a reminder of just how dangerous Mbappé is in one-on-one situations. In any case, Real Madrid will need Rüdiger to be at 100% against AC Milan at the Bernabéu on Tuesday, but they will also need a great Kylian Mbappé, who was criticised after his disappointing first Clasico.
