Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger commented on the unfavorable situation in the 26th round of La Liga. In this match, in a clash with Getafe defender Diego Rico and Arda Güler, Rüdiger made several touches with his left knee.
In this situation in the 26th minute of the match, referee Alejandro Munis did not record a foul, but later the Spanish Arbitration Committee (CTA) concluded that this action deserved a red card.
In his statement, Rüdiger explained the situation and emphasized that his actions were unintentional:
"I saw the repeated scenes in a slowed state, and they look very terrible. But the situation in the game was different. I didn't want to argue, I didn't want to kill him. If I had done it deliberately, he wouldn't have recovered, but he kept running."
The defender also spoke about his boundaries and many years of experience:
"I communicated with him after the game. One shot doesn't show the whole story. In this case, a red card should not have been given. I like to play tough, but I never cross the line. Therefore, the statements are sometimes exaggerated."
Thus, Antonio Rüdiger acknowledged to the fans that the situation was indeed rough, emphasizing that he was unintentional and adhered to the normative boundaries of football. This statement also demonstrates Rüdiger's values of professionalism and caution.
