Live broadcast on 05/0 Rudiger was interviewed by Qatar's Al kass, in which he talked about the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.
Commenting on Alvarez's penalty being disallowed for a second touch, Rudiger said: "Most of the time when you slip on the spot, it's possible to touch the ball with your left foot. Alvarez is a right-footed player who shoots with his right foot and the ball touches his left foot. I don't really like to talk about referees and things like that, VAR intervenes in the referee's decision. So I don't know what controversy we're talking about.
Rudiger also spoke about taking the final penalty himself: 'I don't know if Carlo Ancelotti is looking at Endrick's face. At that moment I took responsibility because Endrick had not been on the pitch for a long time and I was thinking he might have missed the penalty. And Endrick is still very young, and in this case, then I said that even if I miss, I am willing to take the responsibility.
Luckily the ball went in, but it was always possible to miss it. At that time I thought I could handle the situation better than he did. Of course it's a lot of pressure, but there are only two options, to score or not to score, and I don't think too much about it.
If it goes well, it's fine, if it doesn't, it's the only way. That's what I think. Thank God everything went well, although it was a bit stressful, but it was fine. I've been preparing for moments like this all my life, I want to play like this, I want to take on this responsibility, and I'm here. ”
