The stage may be set for an epic European showdown at Wembley on June 1st, pending Real Madrid’s triumph over Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and Paris Saint-Germain’s advancement past Borussia Dortmund on the opposite end of the bracket. This highly anticipated clash not only promises a battle between two European powerhouses but also adds the intrigue of potentially pitting Mbappe against his rumored future club, as the French striker is widely expected to join the Spanish capital on a free transfer once his PSG contract expires on June 30th.
Despite the possibility of becoming teammates, Rudiger has made it clear that he won’t go easy on Mbappe if they meet in the final, stating to Le Media Carre: “If we face him in the final, we’ll beat him. And if he passes [i.e. dribbles] me, I’ll smash him.”
However, the German defender expressed openness to the idea of the 2018 World Cup winner joining Real Madrid, acknowledging the club’s esteemed history of attracting top talent. “The best players in history have always come to Real Madrid. He’s one of the best players in the world, so it would be a good match,” Rudiger remarked.
When pressed about the reports surrounding Mbappe’s potential move, he responded with a smirk: “Who says that he’s (Mbappe) coming, it’s not official.”
Rudiger is gearing up for action against Bayern Munich in the first leg of Real’s semi-final clash at Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening, while Mbappe will take to the field a day later against Borussia Dortmund in Germany. All eyes will be on the prospect of a high-stakes showdown between the two players in the Champions League final on June 1st, provided both teams navigate past their German opponents in the semi-finals.
