Real Madrid defender Toni Rüdiger has issued a public apology following his conduct during last night’s intense clash, admitting fault and expressing regret over his actions toward the referee.
“There’s no excuse for my behaviour last night. I’m very sorry for that, sorry to the referee,” Rüdiger stated, taking full responsibility for the incident that occurred late in the match.
Reflecting on the game, Rüdiger praised his team’s resilience: “We played a very good game from the 2nd half on. After 111 minutes, I was not able to help my team anymore and before the final whistle I did a mistake.”
The German international’s apology has been met with mixed reactions online, but many fans appreciate his honesty and accountability in the heat of such a high-stakes match.
