Always quick to tease, Antonio Rüdiger, central defender of Real Madrid, offered a moment of mockery towards FC Barcelona. Present in Cologne for the final of the Icon League, an event created by Toni Kroos inspired by the Kings League model, the German did not hide his hilarity at the surprise defeat of the Blaugranas against Leganés (0-1) Sunday.
A video posted on social media shows Rüdiger bursting out laughing at the announcement of this result, delighting Madrid supporters.
A Clásico which promises to be hot next May
This weekend, La Liga saw its top three clubs stand within one point, with Barça and Atlético on 38 points, closely followed by Real on 37 points. The Catalan setback therefore allowed the Merengues to reduce the gap.
This tense context is already adding electricity to the next Clásico, scheduled for May 2025. In the meantime, images of amused Rüdiger continue to circulate, fueling the rivalry between the two Spanish giants.
