The tie between Manchester City and Real Madrid left many images to remember. The duel between Erling Haaland and Antonio Rudiger, with the German defender winning, was one of the most powerful.
On the eve of the semi-final against Bayern Munich, Rudiger spoke about what that clash was like and how he is approaching the clash against the Bavarians: "It's a duel with a lot of history between two very big teams. It will be two games at the top of the table, in my opinion there is no favourite. Both teams are in good form, it will be very interesting," he told Sky Sport.
"In the second game Haaland got injured a little bit. The guy is a beast, he's still young. He scored more than 50 goals last year. Things are not going so well for him this year, but he still won more than 30," he said of the Norwegian.
"I live for this. I don't watch videos. We know each other, we know who the other one is. What makes me stronger is when people doubt me, when they say I can't do it. That excites me. That's why it's good that people talk a lot."
