Antonio Rüdiger, Caught, His Reaction to Barça's Defeat is the Most Viral

Real Madrid couldn't take the three points from their visit to the Vallecas stadium, always a complicated place for the white team. The 3-3 draw against 'La Franja' didn't have many repercussions in the fight for LaLiga due to FC Barcelona's defeat at Montjuïc against Leganés.

The results of both games mean that the difference between the clubs remains at just one point... with FC Barcelona still leading the standings. Whatever the case, a 'bad' Real Madrid is very close to reversing that negative trend and aspires to be winter champions next Sunday.

What happened in Barcelona hasn't gone unnoticed by anyone. Not even by the players of the white club. One of the most striking reactions is that of Antonio Rüdiger, who was at an event related to soccer and soccer sponsorships.

In the image posted on social media , the German '22' can be seen, in a casual setting, holding his own mobile phone. On the screen of the device, a page of soccer statistics can clearly shows the score of the game played in Barcelona... and confirms the defeat of the team coached by Hansi Flick.

Antonio Rüdiger's laughter when he realized that FC Barcelona had not been able to beat the 'pepinera' club in their own stadium is already going viral. Especially because this missed opportunity by the Catalan team reduces the distance with respect to their biggest rival in Spanish soccer.

After a month and a half of irregular results, Carlo Ancelotti's men have found a brief unbeaten streak in the League. These games won and drawn, three in a row, have been joined by unexpected defeats for the Catalan team. The difference between the two has been reduced to its most critical point in the entire season.

One of Real Madrid's most important players, largely responsible for keeping the team 'alive', is Antonio Rüdiger himself. The German '22' has established himself as the center of defense due to the injuries of his teammates and is the only certainty that Reggiolo's boss has, especially in terms of defense, a thorny issue in the Valdebebas offices.

Even the arrival of a young and talented center-back could not deprive Rüdiger of his status as a regular starter. The Berlin defender is performing well: others such as Éder Militão, David Alaba and Raúl Asencio will have to compete to be able to line up alongside him in the upcoming matches.
