News: FC Bayern, Antonio Rüdiger, Lamine Yamal

As stoppage time ran through in the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona and referee Ricardo de Burgos blew the whistle for a foul by Antonio Rüdiger's teammate Kylian Mbappé, the German defender lost his temper. Rüdiger, already substituted, raged on the sidelines and had to be restrained by Real Madrid staff. He frantically shouted disgusting insults at de Burgos and also threw an ice pack in his direction with full force. De Burgos and Rüdiger were lucky that the missile just missed its target. Nevertheless, the referee's decision was completely justified and clear: red card, sending off, Rüdiger off. Anyone who saw the scene on television also made a second judgment: a grown man clearly has lost control of himself. The question of whether a guy like that should continue to represent Germany as a national team player on the football pitch is not entirely unreasonable. But in Rüdiger's case, this question also has a certain connotation—and is answered clearly, especially in right-wing circles. Especially since this behavior is quite unusual for the defender: He received his last red card eight years ago.
