Media report after horror photo |
Rüdiger cannot open his eye
He looks like a heavyweight boxer after a nasty knockout!
And that’s how Antonio Rüdiger’s (29) blood equalizer must have felt on Tuesday night in the Champions League in the fifth minute of added time against Shakhtar Donetsk (1-1). The German national player’s first goal for Real Madrid in the European Cup – a bloody feat!

Because the full extent of the crash with Donetsk goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin (21) only becomes clear in a Twitter video from the royal team and a photo from the Spanish newspaper “Marca”.
All the fans saw the blood on the shirt and yesterday found out about the 20 (!) stitches that Rüdiger needed to be sewn up completely.
But it’s only Real’s video that shows the full-back in pain as the defender moans and groans while being tended to in the dressing room. Toni Kroos comes along, takes a look, is visibly impressed, pats Rüdiger on the leg encouragingly, gets a brief bit of information from a supervisor and from Rüdiger himself and then disappears from the video with a slightly distorted face but also with a smile…
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” Rüdiger wrote on Instagram, reassuring fans: “I’m okay. Thank you for all your messages.”
Now “Marca” reports that Rüdiger can no longer open his completely swollen eye. A photo shows the mega swelling, a plaster can be seen under the head bandage, the surrounding tissue is blue and red.

Rüdiger is sure to have the love and admiration of Real fans. The club posted a photo on Twitter showing Rüdiger’s jersey. A splatter of blood left a heart-like imprint next to the Royal crest.
Los Blancos fans are reminded of the late President Santiago Bernabéu’s quote: “Real Madrid’s jersey is white. It can be stained with mud, sweat, and even blood, but never with shame.”
Fortunately, the defender sustained no injuries to his bones. Rüdiger was examined after his return to Madrid around 6 a.m. yesterday morning. A hard and long Champions League night!
It is not yet clear whether Rüdiger can play against FC Barcelona (4:15 p.m.) in the Clásico on Sunday. However, Real wants to check whether the iron-hard Berliner can wear a face mask.
