“I had never seen him [Rudiger] take a penalty,” Carlo Ancelotti has told the media.
“We trained them on Monday and he scored all three he took,” the Italian added.
Petition to make Antonio the first-choice penalty taker from now on? He seems to have some talent!
Rudiger converted Real Madrid’s fifth penalty kick in the shoot-out to send the Whites to the Champions League semi-finals – and did it in style.
Except for shoot-outs, the 31-year-old has never taken a pen in games.
