Rudiger told The Inside Scoop that Karim Benzema was “the best player he has ever played with.” Rudiger plays for Real Madrid. He said, “Karim Benzema. I could say Modric, Kroos, or Chelsea Hazard, but I have to pick Benzema as the best player I’ve played with.”

on Jude Bellingham by Rudiger”I believe that if God sets your time, no one can change it. He was always there at the right time.” He’s lucky to have wonderful parents. I met them at Chelsea and talked to his mum a few times. Jude told me that his mum remembered that I was the only one who greeted them that day.

Rudiger on Kylian MbappePeople say things like, ‘Oh, Kylian will walk into the locker room,’ but he’s really a real person. I can tell he’s growing up because he’s already hitting goals and making a difference. The link-up game with him, Vini, Rodrygo, and Jude is also getting better.

Rudiger about his “slaps””I ask myself, ‘What are you doing?'” (laughs). It’s just there, and I get them back when I score. This is how I love those guys.

Rudiger on becoming a Real Madrid player”I signed with Real Madrid on May 9, 2022.” All of them went to London. It wasn’t real. I couldn’t believe it, so I gave my kids a big hug. They gave me a shirt as a present, and I still have it. It took me all day to hold it.

Rudiger on his return to Bayern”Remember when the goal against Bayern was called back because Kimmich was fouled?” I was sure we would go and win after that. More and more noise came from the fans. Vini was getting the ball, which made us feel good, so we put in Joselu.

On Lamine Yamal by Rudiger”You need to say…” Yamal is going to have a great life. God willing, he stays healthy. He’s already there as a player at age 17. He will do well in life.
