Three weeks before the Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona (26/10), Antonio Rüdiger spoke about the player who scares him the most, on the Catalan side.
In an interview with the media The Inside ScoopAntonio Rüdiger delivered himself. The German defender spoke about several themes of his current affairs at Real Madrid, including the Clasico against FC Barcelona which is fast approaching. The meeting against the eternal rival will take place on October 26 at the Santiago Bernabéu, and the German fears one opposing player in particular.
Despite his 17 years, Lamine Yamal is already in the head of the merengue locker room, according to Rüdiger. “Yamal? He has a great future at the helm of Barcelona. The player who is already for them at 17 is quite terrifying… quite frightening” explained the former Chelsea man.
Although it will take place in three weeks, the Clasico is already eagerly awaited by fans around the world. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona already seem engaged in a title race, which could well take a turn on October 26.
For now, Barça is in control thanks to an almost perfect start to the season, with seven wins and one defeat in La Liga. Results which propel Hansi Flick’s men to the top of the standings, three points ahead of their Madrid rival. If the Blaugrana manage to maintain this lead between now and the Clasico (two league games between now and then), then a victory would give them a six-point lead after 11 rounds of La Liga. Response at the end of October.
