Erling Haaland had an unforgettable night in Spain on Tuesday. The usually menacing Norwegian was silent during Man City's 3-3 draw at Real Madrid.
Antonio Rudiger was partly responsible. The German gave Haaland no room in attack and football fans took note of his performance.
🗣️TotalFootball: "This needs to be said, because no one has talked about it, but Rüdiger has been amazing today, especially with how he clashed with Haaland and won most of them."
🗣️Beth T: “Rudiger is such a top defender. Physically unreal and has lots of character to go with it.”
🗣️Noodle Vini: “Rudiger absolutely bodied Haaland once again, we conceded 3 and he was still one of our best players. The best CB in the world”.
🗣️Aishwarya: “No Real Madrid fan will pass without liking this pic. 🤍 Rudiger what a performance had Haaland in his back pocket”.
🗣️Xav Salazar: “Both teams might be leaving this game with a draw, but one thing is for sure, Rudiger is going home with Haaland in his backpocket. Phenomenal piece of defending and shutting down one of the most clinical strikers in the world.”
