Bayern Munich defender, Josip Stanišić, has called out Real Madrid star Antonio Rüdiger following their heated European clash. The allegation surfaced shortly after the UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarter-final second-leg encounter at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Spanish giants to book their place in the semi-finals. However, the post-match celebrations were dampened by claims of unsportsmanlike behavior on the pitch.
Unacceptable behavior in the Champions League
Speaking to reporters after the match, Stanišić described Rüdiger’s conduct as completely unacceptable for a professional of his caliber. He claimed that the German international directed specific insults at him during the final stages of the game.
“Rüdiger insulted me, and in my opinion, it’s completely unacceptable,” the defender stated during his interview with Kicker. He challenged the Real Madrid man to be “man enough” to admit to the words he used during the confrontation.
Bayern Munich prepares for PSG semi-final
Despite the personal friction between the two players, the Bundesliga giants are celebrating a hard-fought victory. The win allows them to move one step closer to the final as they prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The upcoming semi-final clash is expected to be another high-intensity fixture for the German side. Fans are now waiting to see if the UEFA disciplinary committee will look into the allegations made by Stanišić against his opponent.
