Perez congratulates only one Real Madrid player after eliminating Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid earned a devastating victory over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 Carlo Ancelotti’s men improved throughout the match, but were never able to overcome the solid Atlético defense, and the game went into extra time with the score at 2-2 .

As it stands, the Real Madrid players have been far more inspired than their opponents from the penalty spot . Not only because of the errors of Julián Álvarez and Marcos Llorente compared to Lucas Vázquez ‘s inaccuracy , but also because of the accuracy of other players like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham . However, Florentino Pérez wanted to congratulate another player immediately after the match.

As is customary for the Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez appeared in the Real Madrid locker room after the victory against Atlético de Madrid and congratulated the players for having secured their place in the quarterfinals… albeit in a much more agonizing manner than he had hoped.

In addition to those small talks with some of the players, the Real Madrid boss had a unique conversation with Antonio Rüdiger . The German number 22 is one of the new leaders in the first team and one of the idols of the new category in the stands of the Santiago Bernabéu . This privileged position the Berlin center-back enjoys is due to his own merits and performances like the one he put in today at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano .

The German defender had enough quality to convert the decisive penalty that sent Real Madrid through to the quarterfinals . Florentino Pérez made it clear that “the penalty you took was like the one in Manchester, but with a little mystery .” Because Jan Oblak had a chance to touch his shot… but the power that Real Madrid’s number 22 had put on the ball was too much, even for the experienced Slovenian goalkeeper.
