Real Madrid hoped to raise a new trophy on Saturday evening in Seville, but the King Cup final turned to the nightmare against FC Barcelona (2-1 defeat). A painful failure for the Merengues, which caused scenes of nervousness at the end of the match. Among the players most marked by this defeat, Antonio Rüdiger distinguished himself by a gesture too much, which will earn him a heavy sanction.
Rudiger, the gesture of too much
According to information relayed by Sky90 And confirmed by several Spanish media, the German defender risks a two -digit suspension after his behavior deemed
“Unacceptable”. Out of him after the final whistle, Rüdiger would have tried to throw ice on the referee, before being mastered by his teammates. An attitude deemed
” crazy “ And
“Dressuant” By his compatriot Lothar Matthäus, who calls for an exemplary sanction for the former Chelsea player.
According to Matthäus, Antonio Rüdiger, already under a probation, should consider himself happy if he receives a suspension of only four weeks. But in reality, the Liga disciplinary body is moving towards a ban on playing much heavier, estimated at “at least ten games”. A real blow for Real Madrid, already weakened by a complicated end of the season.
Real deprived of his defensive rock
Beyond his club, it is also the German selection that begins to worry. Certain observers in Germany, relayed by Goalask purely and simply the exclusion of Rüdiger from Mannschaft, believing that such behavior tarnishes the image of the national team as Euro 2028 approaches. The defender is therefore in turmoil, both at domestic and international level.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid must quickly refocus: the club will face Celta Vigo before a new decisive clásico against Barça on May 11. But undoubtedly without Antonio Rüdiger, whose absence promises to be fraught with consequences for the Merengues ambitions.
