Ancelotti insisted Madrid didn't need to recruit another central defender during the January transfer window only to watch Rudiger pull up with a rare fitness complaint on Deadline Day. The report claims Fullkrug approached Rudiger, both pushed each other and they almost come to blows’ before assistant coach Sandro Wagner had to intervene and separate them. Referring to his side’s earlier disallowed goal following a clear foul by Nacho on Joshua Kimmich, he said: “If they can complain about that we can complain about the goal Nacho had disallowed.” Rudiger came into the Euros off the back of a La Liga and Champions League double-winning season with Real Madrid. The 31-year-old, a regular starter at international level since 2017, was ranked pre-tournament by 90min as the second best centre-back competing this summer behind on only Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk, and ahead of Ruben Dias, John Stones and William Saliba.
