It was a tough slog for Madrid in a frantic game against their rivals, but Rudiger still found time to have some fun in the second half.

The centre back, who is known for some slightly mad antics, was seen grabbing the nipple of Atleti striker Alvaro Morata.

Morata wasn’t having any of it though, furiously batting away the German who couldn’t stop laughing.

It’s likely that Morata wouldn’t have taken things too seriously, having played alongside Rudiger for two years while at Chelsea.

The pair won the 2017/18 FA Cup together, with Morata heading off in 2020 while Rudiger stayed at Stamford Bridge and won the Champions League.

They’ve also both spent time at Real, but it’s now Rudiger who’s standing out in Spain, and could well be on his way to another trophy this weekend.

The Spanish Super Cup uniquely features four teams, the runners-up in LaLiga and the Copa del Rey, with the other semi-final seeing Barcelona take on Osasuna.

The bad news for Morata is that he’ll be seeing plenty more of Rudiger, with the Madrid derby taking place two more times in the next 30 days.

The rivals face off in the last 16 of the Copa on January 18, and then again in LaLiga on February 3.

Atleti will be targeting the league clash as a big opportunity to take points off leaders Real, who are currently level on points with Girona at the top of the table, while Atleti are outside of the top four.
