Antonio Rudiger, in an exclusive interview with TNT Sports, acknowledged that Real Madrid will be seeking “revenge” in their upcoming UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash against Manchester City. This comes after City’s victory over Real in last year’s competition, which led them to secure their first European Cup. The first leg of this anticipated rematch will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday evening, with memories of the 4-0 thrashing Real suffered at the Etihad Stadium still fresh in their minds.

Reflecting on last year’s defeat, Rudiger admitted that it was a tough moment for the team and that there is a desire for revenge this time around. He highlighted the respect both teams have for each other’s rich histories and the quality of players on both sides. Rudiger emphasized the importance of staying focused on multiple threats aside from Erling Haaland, as demonstrated by City’s performance in the previous matches. Real Madrid boasts a talented roster of young players, including Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., Eduardo Camavinga, and Rodrygo, who play pivotal roles under Carlo Ancelotti.

Real Madrid, currently leading La Liga by six points and well-rested after a nine-day break, are aiming for a treble this season, having already secured the Supercopa de Espana. Despite their success in domestic competitions, Champions League glory remains the ultimate goal for the club and its supporters. Rudiger acknowledges the weight of expectations at Real Madrid, with the club having won the European Cup 14 times previously. He emphasized the importance of attention to detail and luck in high-stakes matches like the upcoming clash against Manchester City.
