Even though Madrid had a grueling bаttle in a fast-paced match against their opponents, Rudiger managed to find some joy in the second half.
Known for his sometimes insаne antics, the center defender was caught pinching the nιpple of Alvaro Morata, the striker for Atleti.
The German couldn’t help but chuckle, but Morata was having none of it and frantically defended himself.
After playing for Chelsea for two years with Rudiger, Morata probably wouldn’t have taken it seriously.
Rudiger remained at Stamford Bridge and won the Champions League alongside Morata, who left in 2020 after the duo won the FA Cup in 2017–18.
Both have played for Real Madrid, but Rudiger is currently the star in Spain and has a great chance of winning a trophy this weekend.
In a first of its kind, the Spanish Suρer Cup pits the two runner-up from LaLiga and the Copa del Rey against each other; in the other semi-final, Barcelona will face Osasuna.
The bad news for Morata is that with two more Madrid derbies in the next 30 days, he will see Rudiger a lot more.
The two teams will meet twice in La Liga: on January 18 in the round of 16, and again on February 3.
Atleti will be looking to gain ground on Real in the league matchup; Real is tied for first place with Girona on points, and Atleti is currently in fourth place.
