Rudiger picks tougher opponent between Messi, Haaland

Real Madrid defender, Antonio Rudiger has claimed it is more difficult to defend against Erling Haaland than Lionel Messi.

Rudiger also told reporters that facing tough opponents gives him extra motivation.

“Defending against tough opponents? It is what I live for. Those are the moments I love – when all odds are against you when everyone talks against you.

“This is how it was with Haaland. I live for those moments.

“It is tough to defend against tall players like [Erling] Haaland or [Victor] Osimhen, but I prefer to play against players of this height – rather than players of the height like [Lionel] Messi for example,” the 30-year-old said.
