The German defender of Real Madrid, Antonio Rüdiger, starred in a viral video in which he appears making fun of the defeat suffered by FC Barcelona this Sunday against Leganés (0-1) in Montjuic which puts the fight at the top of the standings this season in LaLiga red hot.
During his participation in a sporting event, the central defender of the merengue team could not hide his satisfaction with the adverse result achieved by the Catalan team that ended up surprisingly losing by the minimum against the ‘pepinero’ team thanks to a goal from Sergio González (d. 4).
In a video that quickly went viral on social networks, you can see Antonio Rüdiger laughing out loud while checking the result of the FC Barcelona match on his mobile phone. The Real Madrid player shows the camera the result in the midst of his joy.
FC Barcelona arrived at its match this Sunday, corresponding to matchday 17 of the Spanish championship, knowing that Real Madrid had not been able to go beyond the draw in its match on Saturday against Rayo Vallecano (3-3) so he had a good chance to increase his distance.
However, those led by the German Hansi Flick (who was not present when he served one of two suspension dates due to a red card) were unable to score points at home, which combined with Atlético de Madrid’s victory against Getafe (1-0 ) made the fight at the top of LaLiga even more interesting.
Now the Catalan team is tied with the Colchoneros in first place, both with 38 points, followed by Real Madrid, which has one point less. In the case of the two teams from the Spanish capital with a match still pending to be played.
After a great start to the season, FC Barcelona has been fading, which is reflected in the classification where the Catalan team saw the distance reduced with respect to its closest pursuers, which in the case of Atlético de Madrid, has already reached it in points.
Under Flick’s command, the Blaugranas won seven consecutive victories at the start of the season to take control of the standings. However, they have recently had trouble adding three points, achieving just one victory in their last five games in the local tournament.
In fact, FC Barcelona has four defeats in this League, just one for Atlético de Madrid and two for Real Madrid, who have gone from strength to strength to the point of closing practically the entire distance with respect to the Catalan team.
