Diego Rico riktar allvarliga anklagelser mot Antonio Rüdiger efter foulen

Efter Real Madrids 0–1-förlust mot Getafe anklagade Getafe-försvararen Diego Rico Real-spelaren Antonio Rüdiger för att medvetet ha knäat honom i ansiktet. Händelsen inträffade i första halvlek medan Rico låg på marken. Rico uttryckte stark kritik i en intervju.

I La Ligamatchen mellan Real Madrid och FC Getafe i helgen förlorade Real Madrid med 0–1. I mitten av första halvlek gick Getafe-vänsterbacken Diego Rico i närkamp med Real-mittfältaren Arda Güler och föll till marken. Domaren dömde ingen foul. Real-försvararen Antonio Rüdiger, 33 år gammal och tysk landslagsman, försökte nå bollen men tappade balansen och träffade Rico i ansiktet med sitt vänstra knä. Varken domaren eller videodomarassistenten (VAR) ingrep. Rico fick läkarvård men kunde fullfölja matchen. I en intervju med spanska radiostationen Cope anklagade Rico Rüdiger för att medvetet ha gjort det. „Ingen annan proffsspelare skulle anfalla en spelare på marken med sådan illvilja och slå honom så brutalt med knäet när bollen inte ens var i närheten“, sade Rico. Han tillade att han utväxlat ord med Rüdiger kort tidigare efter ett handgemäng. „Om det hade varit tvärtom skulle jag ha blivit avstängd i tio matcher eller inte fått spela den här säsongen alls.“ Rüdigers säsong med Real Madrid har präglats av skador; EM 2024-deltagaren har hittills bara gjort nio ligamatcher. Landslagstränaren Julian Nagelsmann uttryckte osäkerhet i en intervju med tidningen Kicker om att ta ut Rüdiger till VM 2026 i USA, Kanada och Mexiko.
