On the sidelines of the first Clasico of the season against FC Barcelona this weekend, Real Madrid were full of confidence by defeating SC Braga (2-1) on Tuesday evening as part of the 3rd day of the Champions League. In addition to the shock at the top against the Catalan rival, Toni Kroos spoke the day after the success against the Portuguese in C1 about the altercation between Antonio Rüdiger and Sergio Ramos during the clash between the Madrid club and Sevilla FC (1-1) during his podcast titled “Einfach mal luppen”. Jostled by his former teammate after a set piece, the Spanish defender responded to the German by grabbing his cheeks before pushing him away.
Looking back on this episode, the German international highlighted the unusual “self-control” of his selection partner who did not respond to the provocation of the former Parisian. “Sergio (Ramos editor’s note) had a smile on his face. Things got worse. As for Antonio (Rüdiger editor’s note), I have to say: hats off. He was on the verge of suspension and the following weekend there was the Clasico, which meant that at that point he had no room for error. That’s probably what slowed him down a bit. Otherwise it would have been even more fun.declared the Madrilenian.
