Antonio Rüdiger’s freak out in the Spanish cup final will have consequences. Lothar Matthäus expects an XXL lock.
Lothar Matthäus reacted frightened to the behavior of Antonio Rüdiger in the Spanish cup final. In the Sky90 show, the record national player said that Rüdiger had been “senses” and “no longer under control”. “He is a national player, he should be a role model. Yesterday he forgot it all,” emphasized the TV expert.
Matthäus expects a clear lock for the 32-year-old. “If he gets away with four weeks of lock, he is well served. I think of a double-digit weekly number,” said the 64-year-old. He expects an “XXL lock”, also because Rüdiger was already under probation.
In the 2: 3 after extra time against Barça, Rüdiger had thrown an object towards the referee from the replacement bank. For that he saw the red card. He also audibly insulted the impartial in German. Several teammates and supervisors had to intervene to calm the angry central defender.
Dietmar Hamann, also a TV expert at Sky, also demanded a consequence: he spoke out for the fact that the DFB Rüdiger should suspend for the time being.
