Even if Antonio Rüdiger plays for Real Madrid, the German international (74 caps) knows how to recognize the talent of a player, even if he plays for the rival club. In the show The Inside Scoopthe 31-year-old defender was complimentary towards FC Barcelona’s new star, Lamine Yamal. Despite the rivalry between the two Spanish giants, Rüdiger believes that the European champion with Spain is capable of having a huge career.
“ You have to give him credit. He’s only 17 and what he’s doing isn’t ridiculous. In Barcelona they have a player who has a whole career ahead of him. I hope he stays healthy, because we never wish harm on anyone. He has a great future. At only 17 years old, he is scary. You have to give him credit for what he showed during the Euros. Forget rivalries and things like that », Confided Rüdiger, who was eliminated by Spain’s Yamal during the last Euro, in the quarter-final.
