The first leg of the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League championship match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is scheduled to take place this evening.
Real Madrid will be seeking to secure a more comfortable victory against the Bavarians tonight, after their quarterfinal victory over Manchester City, which was a contest that was decided by a small margin.
Antonio Rudiger, who will be in charge of commanding a Real Madrid defense that will have the arduous challenge of preventing Harry Kane and the rest of the Real Madrid players, will be one of the Real Madrid players that will be in focus going into tonight’s match.
Mbappe will be Rudiger’s opponent in the championship game.
Before this match, Rudiger discussed the idea of meeting Paris Saint-Germain and a possible showdown with Kylian Mbappe in the championship game. Both of these scenarios were discussed before to the game.
Rudiger is quoted as saying, “If we play against Mbappé in the Champions League final, we will beat him, and if he dribbles with me, I will destroy him,” according to Mundo Deportivo.
Obviously, the Real Madrid defense uttered these statements in a joking way, taking into consideration the fact that there is a significant possibility that Mbappe will become his colleague in the next season.
In answer to a question about the possibility of Mbappe moving to Real Madrid, Rudiger provided a reaction that was quite polite, stating that there is currently no official announcement about the matter.”Who predicted that it would take place? Rudiger, who is anticipated to play an even more vital position at Real Madrid next season, particularly with Nacho Fernandez set to depart at the conclusion of the season, said that it is not official. Rudiger is expected to play a role that is much more essential.
Mbappe is expected to be successful at Real Madrid, according to Rudiger, if he decides to join the club in the summer of 2019.
Rudiger, whose immediate aim will be to hold Bayern Munich’s assault at bay tonight, said, “I think the best players in history have played for Real Madrid, and he is one of the best players in the world, so he would work well.” Rudiger’s immediate emphasis will be on preventing Bayern Munich from scoring today.
