German player Antonio Rüdiger (30 years old), defender for Real Madrid, engages in strange provocative moves and controversial behavior against his rivals on the pitch during matches. A video clip has circulated on the platform "X" showcasing a new bizarre move Rüdiger performed against a player from Deportivo Alavés (1-0) in their match on Thursday, which was part of the 18th round of the Spanish La Liga.
This incident brought to mind Rüdiger's behavior with Norwegian star Erling Haaland, top scorer for Manchester City (1-1), during their match in May at the "Santiago Bernabéu" stadium in Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. At that time, Rüdiger closely marked Haaland, shadowing him wherever he went on the field and significantly limiting the Norwegian star's impact.
