In the past, Real Madrid had many famous "butcher" defenders such as Pepe, Ramos. And now Antonio Rudiger.

The German centre-back had a very rough play on young defender Lewis-Skelly of Arsenal.

In the 60th minute, Rudiger rushed in and pushed Skelly from behind, causing him to fall down. Not stopping there, Rudiger took advantage of the momentum and calmly stepped on Skelly's stomach.

What's unbelievable is that the referee didn't show Rudiger a card at all in this situation. "If it was worse, Rudiger could have killed Skelly," one viewer commented.

Luckily not seriously injured, defender Skelly responded to Rudiger on social media after the match.

Specifically, Skelly shared a picture of him being kicked in the stomach by Rudiger, along with another picture of Skelly sitting and smiling sarcastically, implying that he was laughing at the opposing player.

Most fans are outraged by Rudiger's actions. Arsenal fans are calling on UEFA to intervene and impose a temporary ban on the German defender.

This is not the first time Rudiger has played dirty. The German centre-back is famous for his "cutting" situations on the pitch, and even with... teammates.

Most recently, Rudiger fouled Bellingham in a training session before the match, leading to a scuffle between the two sides.

Despite this, Rudiger has rarely been punished for his rough play, receiving just four red cards in his career, and has been banned for six more games due to suspension.
