Rudiger caused outrage when he kicked a young player in the stomach.

Real Madrid suffered a humiliating defeat to Arsenal in the early morning of April 17 in the Champions League, but their image was further tarnished by their usual ugly play.

In the past, Real Madrid had many famous "butcher" defenders such as Pepe, Ramos. And now Antonio Rudiger.

The German midfielder had an extremely rough play with young defender Lewis-Skelly of Arsenal.

In the 60th minute, Rudiger rushed in and pushed Skelly from behind, causing him to fall down. Not stopping there, Rudiger took advantage of the momentum and calmly stepped on Skelly's stomach.

What's unbelievable is that the referee didn't show Rudiger a card at all in this situation. "If it was worse, Rudiger could have killed Skelly," one spectator commented.

Luckily not seriously injured, defender Skelly responded to Rudiger on social media after the match.

Specifically, Skelly shared a picture of him being kicked in the stomach by Rudiger, along with another picture of Skelly sitting and smiling sarcastically, implying that he was laughing at the opposing player.

Most fans were outraged by Rudiger's actions. Arsenal fans are calling on UEFA to intervene and impose a disciplinary penalty on the German defender.

This is not the first time Rudiger has played dirty. The German midfielder is famous for his "cutting" situations on the field, and even with... his teammates.

Most recently, Rudiger fouled Bellingham in a training session before the match, leading to a brawl between the two sides.

Rudiger, however, has rarely been punished for his rough play, receiving just four red cards in his career and a further six suspensions.
