Rudiger Tells Lewandowski in the Tunnel After the Clásico: “No One Gets It…”
The Clásico ended in favor of Real Madrid in injury time. Jude Bellingham’s goal sealed the match… and opens up the possibility for Real Madrid to clinch the title before the end of the league.
Real Madrid’s victory in the Clásico concludes a ‘magical week’ for the Merengue club. The elimination of Manchester City on penalties, at the hands of the white discipline, has been complemented by the last-minute victory of Carlo Ancelotti’s pupils at the Santiago Bernabéu. The match was much more competitive than it seemed, but the capital team finally imposed its authority at its own stadium.
Beyond the significant 11-point lead that Real Madrid holds over FC Barcelona in the league race, the sensations in both dressing rooms are now the most striking. From the euphoria in the home area to the feeling of disaster reigning in the visiting area: they have let two titles slip away in just six days.
The players of FC Barcelona have once again experienced firsthand the mystique and DNA of Real Madrid, something that still remains a mystery even to certain Merengue players. Especially those who haven’t been with the club for long, like Antonio Rudiger. The German ’22’ is having an imperial season, soaking up everything that it means to defend the badge of the white entity.
It’s Happened Again
But despite his magnificent performance, he is still amazed by what the team can achieve if its players believe in it. The comeback, confirmed by Jude Bellingham’s goal in the first minute of injury time, surprises Antonio Rudiger, who can’t find words to explain it to Robert Lewandowski in the Santiago Bernabéu’s tunnel.
“No one understands it, brother, this is Madrid.” With those words, Rudiger expresses the incredulity and pride he feels in belonging to Real Madrid. The white team has come so far in almost all competitions this season, thanks, among other things, to its excellent performance. That’s why this victory, like the others achieved this season, is owed to it.
