Rudiger apologized for his actions in the match against Barcelona

In the El Clasico match, which took place within the framework of the Spanish Cup final, Real Madrid suffered a painful defeat against Barcelona with a score of 2:3. One of the most memorable moments of the match was the incident with Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger.

The German player, who was substituted in the last minutes of extra time, was very dissatisfied with the decision of referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoechea and could not control himself. Rüdiger, who was trying to argue with the referee, was barely stopped by his teammates. However, the situation did not calm down: Rüdiger threw a bag filled with ice at the referee. The referee punished him with a red card for this act.

However, the defender, not satisfied with the red card, returned from the stands and made additional threats to the referee. His extremely aggressive behavior caused serious criticism from experts. Experts say that Antonio Rüdiger could be banned for a long time for these actions. According to their estimates, the player is likely to be banned for up to 12 matches.

After the match, the player, who realized his mistake, expressed his sincere regret for his actions and apologized to the fans and the referee.

"My behavior today cannot be justified by anything. I lost control of myself during the game, which is a huge mistake for me. I feel very bad and I sincerely regret what I did," said Rüdiger.

The German defender also admitted that he was pleased with his team's performance, but that his mistake in the final minutes left his teammates in an awkward position.

"We played very well, especially in the second half. But after the 111th minute I couldn't help my team. And this mistake I made when the match was coming to an end made the situation even worse. If I broke anyone's trust with this action, I sincerely apologize to all of them and of course to the referee," the Madrid player said.

For your information, Real Madrid lost the Spanish Cup final for the 21st time in its history after this defeat. Barcelona, on the other hand, won the national cup for the 32nd time, breaking the record in the history of this tournament.
