Antonio Rüdiger (born 3 March 1993) is a German professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for La Liga club Real Madrid and the Germany national team. Considered one of the best defenders in the world, he is known for his aggressive playing style, speed, tackling ability and strong aerial presence.[4][5][6][7]
Rüdiger began his career at VfB Stuttgart, representing their reserves in 3. Liga and the first team in the Bundesliga. In 2015 he joined Roma, initially on loan and a year later for a €9 million fee. He was signed by Chelsea in 2017 for an estimated £27 million, where he won the FA Cup in his first season, followed by the UEFA Europa League in his second season, and the UEFA Champions League in 2021. In 2022, he was signed by Real Madrid, winning a Copa del Rey in his first season, as well as La Liga and a second Champions League title in 2024.
The following year in April 2013, Rüdiger extended his contract with Stuttgart until June 2017.[10] On 1 June, he played in the final of the DFB-Pokal in a match lost 3–2 against Bayern Munich.[11] He finished his second season in the first team with 24 appearances, plus 4 appearances and 2 goals in the reserve team.[12]
Rüdiger finished the 2013–14 season with 35 appearances and 2 goals.[12] He finished the following season with only 20 appearances and one assist due to various injuries.[13][14]

On 19 August 2015, Serie A club Roma signed Rüdiger on loan from Stuttgart for €4 million. The clubs agreed on an optional €9 million transfer fee at the end of the one-year contract.[15]

On 22 December 2019, Rüdiger made a complaint about racist abuse directed against him during the away match against Tottenham Hotspur, which received wide media coverage.[28][29][30] It prompted a call for government action on racism in football.[31] However, no evidence of racist abuse against Rüdiger was found after a police investigation with the police eventually dismissing the case.[32]
On his 100th club appearance, he scored Chelsea's two goals, both headers assisted by Mason Mount in a 2–2 draw against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on 1 February 2020.[33] On 29 May 2021, Rüdiger won his first-ever UEFA Champions League after Chelsea beat Manchester City 1–0 in the final at the Estádio do Dragão.[34] On 12 April 2022, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–2 away win over Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the 2021–22 season; however, Chelsea were eliminated from the competition by losing 5–4 on aggregate.[35] On 20 May, Rüdiger announced officially that he would leave Chelsea after five years.[36]
Real Madrid
On 2 June 2022, Real Madrid announced that Rüdiger signed as a free agent for the club, penning a four-year deal starting with the 2022–23 season.[37][38] On 20 June 2022, Rüdiger was unveiled as a new Real Madrid player. He was given the number 22 shirt.[39] On 10 August, he made his debut for the club, coming off the bench in a 2–0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Super Cup.[40] His first goal came on 11 September 2022, scoring the last goal in a 4–1 win over Mallorca.[41] On 11 October, he scored a header in the 95th minute against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League group stage, which allowed his side to draw 1–1 and qualify for the knockout phase. While jumping for the header, Rüdiger collided with Shakhtar goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin and sustained a cut to the face that required 20 stitches.[42][43] In the 2023–24 season, he achieved his first La Liga and second Champions League title,[44] in which he was named in the Team of the Season for the latter.[45]
International career
Rüdiger was eligible to play for Germany and Sierra Leone, his mother's homeland[46] and was a member of several Germany national youth football teams up to the Germany U21 team.[47]
He made his debut for the Germany national team on 13 May 2014 in a 0–0 draw against Poland.[48] Although he was initially included in his nation's 23-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016, Rüdiger was later ruled out of the tournament due to injury, after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session on 7 June.[49]
Rüdiger was part of the Germany national squad which won the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia. He played four matches in the tournament, including the 1–0 win over Chile in the final.[50] On 8 October 2017, he headed his first international goal in a 5–1 home win over Azerbaijan in World Cup qualifying.[51]
Rüdiger was included in Germany's final 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup on 4 June 2018.[52] On 23 June, he was picked up for the second group stage match against Sweden as first choice centre-backMats Hummels suffered an injury, the game ended 2–1 win for Germany.[53][54] Four days later, he did not play the last group stage match and his side were knocked out by South Korea after a 2–0 defeat.[55] On 19 May 2021, Rüdiger was selected to the squad for the UEFA Euro 2020.[56] He played every minute in the tournament for Germany as they were eliminated by England in the round of 16.[57]
In November 2022, Rüdiger was called up for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[58] However, Germany were knocked out from the group stage, as they finished third behind Japan and Spain.[59]
Rüdiger was included in the Germany squad for the Euro 2024.[60]
Style of play
Normally a centre-back, Rüdiger is a versatile defender, who is also capable of playing as a full-back on either flank.[61] In 2015, ESPN described him as a "...tall, quick and athletic defender who is ... comfortable with the ball at his feet", also touting him as an "interesting prospect" who "...has all the necessary physical attributes to become a top-level centre-back."[62] His Chelsea profile described him as a "tough tackler" and a "commanding presence in the air."[63] In addition to his strong physical attributes and aggressive playing style, he is also known for his leadership qualities and passing ability.[62][64] Rüdiger’s speed and athleticism, coupled with his understanding of the game, allow him to excel both in man-to-man situations and in zonal marking.[65]
Personal life
He was born in Berlin[66] to an Afro-German father, Matthias, and a Sierra Leonean mother, Lily. His father named him Antonio because he likes the Spanish actor Antonio Banderas[67] He grew up in the Berlin neighbourhood of Neukölln and is the half-brother of Sahr Senesie.[68][69] Rüdiger has often spoken out on racism in the sport, most notably after a match against Tottenham Hotspur on 24 February 2020.[70] In 2021, he wrote an article for The Players' Tribune, entitled "This Article Will Not Solve Racism in Football", on the subject, discussing his experiences with racism throughout his life and career, and potential ways to fight it.[71] He is married to Laura Rüdiger[72] and he has a son and a daughter.[73]
Rüdiger is a practising Muslim.[74] In 2020, Rüdiger gave a like to an Islamistic diatribe against French President Emmanuel Macron on Instagram. He later apologized.[75][76] In March 2024, Rüdiger posted encouragement on Instagram to other Muslims to observe Ramadan fervently. Former editor-in-chief of the German Bild Zeitung, Julian Reichelt, commented on the athlete's tauhīd gesture:
"For all those who do not want to recognize an Islamist salute in Antonio Rüdiger's gesture: The Office for the Protection of the Constitution calls this gesture the 'IS finger' and rates the index finger as a clear sign of Islamism."
As a result, together with the German Football Association, Rüdiger filed a complaint against Reichelt for defamation, insult, and incitement to hatred.[77]
