BOLASPORT.COM – Despite having been involved in a dispute, Chelsea’s most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, still paid tribute to Antonio Ruediger after the defender officially joined Real Madrid.
The feud between Kepa Arrizabalaga and Antonio Ruediger had attracted attention in 2021.
At that time, the two were involved in a fight during a regular Chelsea training session at Cobham, Surrey, Sunday (4/7/2021) local time.
The fight was started by Ruediger who accidentally threw a late tackle on Kepa.
Not accepting the action, the world’s most expensive goalkeeper then approached Ruediger.
The two of them got into an argument and pushed each other.
Luckily, the feud didn’t last long and Ruediger apologized to Kepa after the training session ended.
