It wasn't Jude Bellingham. Antonio Rudiger was arguably Real Madrid's best player in their 3-3 draw against Manchester City on Tuesday.
Rudiger would be rated 10/10 if Real Madrid had won the game or kept a clean sheet against the Cityzens at the Santiago Bernabeu for his defensive masterclass against Erling Haaland once again.
Rudiger made 3 clearances, 2 interceptions, 3 tackles and won 3/4 of his ground duels. The German defender was never dribbled past during the game. It was a monstrous performance.
As a result of Rudiger's brilliance, Haaland touched the ball only 20 times in 90 minutes and managed just one shot on goal. It was a woeful outing for the Premier League's top scorer.
It must be noted that other Real Madrid players like Fede Valverde, Rodrygo, Toni Kroos and Vinicius also stepped up on a difficult night.
With Haaland caged, City found a way through other players like Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva and Josko Gvardiol to score three superb goals on the night.
Who would you say was Real Madrid's best performer against City?
