Antonio Rudiger: Real Madrid defender on Jude Bellingham and Chelsea's struggles

In Antonio Rudiger's words, it has been a "wow" week for him and Real Madrid. A week ago, he stepped up to take Real Madrid's fifth and decisive penalty against Manchester City, knocking them out of the Champions League to progress to the semi-finals. Then just a few days later, he and his team-mates beat their fiercest rivals Barcelona in El Clasico to all but end the title race in Spain, with Madrid now 11 points ahead with six games to play. Although Rudiger has played a decisive part in what has been a hugely significant week in their season, it is one of his team-mates Jude Bellingham who has received much praise once again, for scoring the winner against their rivals to beat them 3-2, a second Clasico winner of the season.
