Real Madrid centre-back, Antonio Rudiger has predicted a “tough” match when the Los Blancos clash with Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup in the US.
Both teams booked their places in the last-4 on Saturday after beating Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, respectively.
Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 3-2, while PSG won Bayern Munich 2-0.
The two teams will now return to MetLife Stadium on Wednesday for a blockbuster semi-final tie.
Speaking after Real Madrid defeated Dortmund, Rudiger said at his post-match interview: “PSG are a very, very tough team.
“They [PSG] showed that they’re one of the best in Europe in terms of form, and it will be a tough match.
“But we’re Real Madrid and we’re up for the challenge.”
Rudiger will be without his defensive partner Dean Huijsen for the PSG game after the Spain international picked a red card against Dortmund.
