While’Antonio Rudiger, briefly absent due to’a muscle overload during the Clasico against FC Barcelona, was back in training with Real Madrid, a hilarious action against Kylian Mbappe went viral on social media.
Real Madrid’s preparation for their upcoming Champions League clash with AC Milan is intensifying, especially with Antonio Rudiger back in training. Known for his tough and combative style, the German center-back is set to be a crucial figure in Madrid’s defense. His return couldn’t come at a better time, as Real Madrid seeks to solidify their backline against a formidable Milan side.
However, a recent training session highlighted just how challenging the task will be for Rudiger and his teammates. In an opposition drill, Kylian Mbappe showcased his signature speed and skill, managing to slip past Lucas Vazquez before confronting Rudiger. The German attempted to stop him with an assertive approach, but Mbappe’s quick footwork outplayed Rudiger, allowing him to pass the ball to Dani Ceballos, who assisted Fran Garcia for the goal. This moment quickly sparked reactions across social media, with fans marveling at Mbappe’s ability to dismantle even one of Madrid’s most formidable defenders.
While this training clip has reminded fans of Mbappe’s threat in one-on-one duels, it’s also clear that Madrid will need Rudiger to be at his absolute best against Milan. His physicality and experience are vital assets for Real Madrid’s defense, particularly as they face a Milan attack led by Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud. Fans are hoping for a fully fit Rudiger to anchor the defense and that Mbappe, despite recent criticism after a lackluster El Clasico performance, will bring his top form to secure a crucial victory.
