Real Madrid is losing the pedals. After a memorable 2023-2024 season filled with trophies and memorable matches in Tire-Larigot, the Madrid club is only the shadow of itself in 2024-2025. Being able to legitimately hope to do even better than the previous seasons with the gleaming arrival of Kylian Mbappé after years of waiting, nothing will have been. Little helped by injuries and an effective tactical seat which has still not been found by Carlo Ancelotti, the White House is experiencing a fairly catastrophic cuvée.
Defeated in the Spanish Super Cup final and in the King's Cup final against Barça, the Merengues are relegated four points to their liga rival in Liga and are already eliminated from the Champions League after a double cataclysmic confrontation against Arsenal. Antonio Rüdiger perfectly symbolizes this descent into hell of the European Champions. Author of the best season of his career last year with impressive defensive solidity and several iconic moments in the Champions League, the German defender is only the shadow of himself this season. Accompanied by a still inexperienced RAUL in despite its many qualities, the former Roc de Chelsea is struggling to find his luster of yesteryear.
An operation at the meniscus planned for Antonio Rüdiger
In addition to this disconcerting feverishness, the 32 -year -old German is negatively illustrated with several anger access this season. In addition to an ugly gesture on Myles Lewis-Skelly during the quarter-final return of C1 against Arsenal, the native of Berlin has been against the referees of the king's cup final last Saturday by throwing ice cubes on them. “My behavior last night is absolutely inexcusable. I'm sincerely sorry. We played a very good game from the second half. After 111 minutes, I could no longer help my team and, before the final whistle, I made an error. I apologize to the referee and all those I disappointed last night ”then apologized for the former Roma on his social networks.
While logically risks a long suspension for this ice pocket throw, Rüdiger should therefore be suspended between 4 and 12 matches according to the Spanish media. A blow that the interested party intends to take advantage of. Because yes, if number 22 of Real Madrid had ice available, it is because it has suffered terribly from the meniscus since the start of the season as indicated by the Spanish press. An increasingly lively pain over the season and which prevented it from continuing the final against Barça. Consequently, this situation should push him to have operated in the coming weeks after Marca. The Iberian daily explains that, despite the Final Four of the Nations League with Germany and the World Cup of clubs with Real, Rüdiger favors surgery as quickly as possible to be operational by next season. A new blow which therefore comes to mark a definitively complicated season for Antonio Rüdiger.
