There was some heated confrontation between the two former teammates...
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has praised his teammate Antonio Rudiger for not rising to Sergio Ramos, as so many others have done in the past.
Los Blancos drew 1-1 at Sevilla, and Ramos even forced Rudiger's face into a smile with his hands. This resulted in a heated confrontation between the two.

But during his podcast 'Einfach mal luppen', as carried by Diario AS, Kroos explained that things would have gotten much more 'entertaining' if it weren't for Rudiger using his head.
"Sergio painted a smile on his face. Things got heated. As for Antonio, I have to say, chapeau. He was one away from suspension, and the next weekend, there was El Clasico, which meant at that moment that he couldn't mess up. That was probably what slowed him down a bit. Otherwise, it would have been even more fun."
Had Rudiger been suspended, Carlo Ancelotti would have been down to two central defenders in Nacho Fernandez and David Alaba.
