Here is Kylian Mbappé warned. Questioned by the media Carré, Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger delivered an unequivocal response. “If he dribbles me? I’m going to explode it! », laughed the German, while the Merengues could find Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. “But there is one more step, I am only focused on that,” he calmed as his team faced Bayern in Munich on Tuesday evening, in the semi-final first leg.
“I’m not on the pitch to make friends,” continued Rüdiger, a defender known to be tough on man even if it sometimes means inspiring fear in opposing attackers. The answer – obviously to be taken in the second degree – is causing talk, while Rüdiger and Mbappé have a good chance of wearing the same jersey next year with the probable arrival of the Frenchman in Madrid.
“Mbappé is not a pure scorer, he is first and foremost a winger”,
“Who said he was coming?” Rüdiger retorted. But it’s true that the best players in history have always played for Real Madrid, so it would be a good match.” Questioned extensively about the captain of the Blues, the German did not cite him among the attackers who caused him the most trouble, preferring to mention Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Agüero. “Mbappé is not a pure scorer, he is first and foremost a winger,” replied the former Chelsea defender. “But it can also cause problems very often,” he continued. He’s someone special, he won the World Cup at 18. He can become the best French player in history, but for me, that’s not yet the case: it’s Zinédine Zidane. »
Despite this titanic image, the 90 meter colossus revealed one of his flaws: “Until I was 15, I wet the bed,” he smiled. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s life. » And Rüdiger reveals his secret to avoid such a mishap: even today, he no longer drinks after 8 p.m. Tuesday evening, it should therefore not be surprising if the German defends intensely for 90 minutes without cooling down.
