“The Last Time I Played Against Him Was at Chelsea, I Know How to Deal With His Tricky Movements” – Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger Names the ONE Arsenal Player He’s Dreaming of Facing Again – Not Bukayo Saka, Not Kai Havertz!

Antonio Rudiger has never been one to shy away from a challenge. The German defender, known for his aggressive, no-nonsense defending, has faced some of the best attackers in the world. But now, ahead of a potential Champions League clash, the Real Madrid center-back has his sights locked on one Arsenal player he can’t wait to face again. And surprisingly, it’s NOT Bukayo Saka or Kai Havertz!

Rudiger, who spent five years at Chelsea before making his high-profile move to Real Madrid, has crossed paths with this Arsenal star before. And from the way he’s talking, it’s clear he’s been waiting for this rematch for a long time.

“The last time I played against him was when I was at Chelsea,” Rudiger admitted in an interview. “I know how to deal with his tricky movements. If I fail to silence him that day, then I have failed as a defender.”

So, who is this mystery player that Rudiger is eager to lock horns with once again?

Sources close to the Madrid camp suggest that the man in question is none other than Gabriel Martinelli! The Brazilian winger has been a nightmare for defenders in the Premier League, combining blistering pace with sharp dribbling and relentless pressing. And it seems Rudiger has been keeping an eye on him.

During his Chelsea days, Rudiger faced Martinelli multiple times, and those battles were nothing short of intense. The young winger, who was still developing his game back then, showed glimpses of his brilliance. Now, with more experience and confidence under Mikel Arteta, Martinelli has grown into one of Arsenal’s most dangerous attackers.

Rudiger’s statement suggests he believes he has the key to shutting down the explosive winger. But can he really contain the Brazilian this time around? Arsenal fans will remember Martinelli’s fearless performances against top defenders, leaving the likes of Virgil van Dijk and João Cancelo struggling to cope.

If Real Madrid and Arsenal cross paths in the Champions League knockout rounds, this duel could steal the show. One thing is certain—Rudiger is ready for war, and Martinelli won’t back down. Let th

e battle begin!
