Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has criticised Real Madrid star Antonio Rudiger for his role in Angel Correa’s derby red card.
Los Rojiblancos came away from the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with a battling point as Alvaro Rodriguez’s late goal cancelled out Jose Gimenez’s opener.
On a night of few chances, both sides converted their one real opening in the Spanish capital, but the flashpoint between Correa and Rudiger was the main talking point.
Correa was dismissed by referee Gil Manzano just after the hour mark following an off the ball clash with Rudiger.
Replays showed minor contact from Correa towards the German international, with his hand striking his chest, not his face, as Rudiger imitated.
Simeone was annoyed by the decision and claimed Rudiger’s actions ensured Correa’s dismissal with an appeal expected from Atletico in the coming days.
“The contact is not a hit. Rüdiger is 1.94m”, as per reports from Diario AS.
“A blow so brutal that he apparently had to sit down, but was quickly able to stand up.
“It could be a yellow, but if we send off a player for that, there would not be a player left on the field.”
If Correa’s ban is upheld by La Liga the Argentinian will miss the next three league games.

Madrid drew the game because of Rudiger's act which made Atletico to close up and rely only on counter attack. Even Cortouis said so.

by ur comment, one can conclude that u r not only blind & illiterate also doesn't know anything about the law of football of course. Those that watch short clip replays will go for Red card & those who watch the game, knows it was & will never be a red card any given days match. ATM playing against 11+1.

No coach in Europe entertains me like Diego Simeone. He's 100 dedicated and loves his work.

wanna talk about Ronaldo diving, Madrid players always getting a red for a horrendous foul, inhuman fouls from ramos and pepe they didn't play ball, they tried to kill our players and I don't see alba diving neither does Suarez, he just gets in the position bw the player and ball and they take him down he wins penalties but only fair and square not by diving but forcing the player what did rudiger do today, Oscar level acting
What did you say Suarez never dive for a penalty? Most of the Barca players dive and the referee give the foul .Umtiti Busqet Suarez Alba Dani Alves

@nukaelprt Sergio Busquets is a master in such reactions, let's not also forget Neymar. Such reaction is. it peculiar to Rudiger alone, some other high profile Players are also guilty of such
agreed. but saying elbowing ain't a part of the game isn't correct

still it ain't a red card....rudiger is just a cry baby Getting a small hit in chest and acting like getting it on face ....if someone really does hit him on face he would act like he died

The issue of kicking, pushing,pulling and elbowing plus fighting should stop in football. Football involves the whole body including the brain. So people who believe that it's okay to be held, pushed and kicked it's because they never played the beautiful game

It shouldn't be a red card only a yellow. I don't know why Rudiger is still playing for RM. His pace is slow & his play is just plain average - both in defence & attack. His play is the panicky type in defence. Has lost it since his move from Chelsea.

what happened to VAR?
VAR has not value when referee play for the team or when real madrid play. If they used, there should be var possible penalty of Valverde hand ball inside the box in the first half. And referee should go for var for red card of correa but Laliga referees are just suck full of politics money minded referees.

Rudiger's dark art, very unscrupulous & vicious. He did that countless times in the PL, notably to Son when Chelsea played Spurs. He's known to collapse at the slightest touch, like he's been shot.

Real Madrid & AM played a boring game. RM in la liga is way beyond their true potential. Can't believe Liverpool lost 5-2 to them in CL. Instead of having a bunch of star players, the Derby was a headache. No intent from either side to win. They have given up as on current form, I don't think they can catch Barca.

True RM fan here. I like fair game. Rudigar behavior todays remind me of Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez who used to dive in on our arena all the time. I hated their behavior that referee favored them. I hated today for unnecessary red card

Rudiger is a dirty player with no morals. Will use all the dirty tricks in the book. Bad character that does not reflect well in any shirt he wears. Why RM use him?

Remember when rudiger mocked that Japanese player and Germany ended losing, costing them an early exit. That was great.
I only support fact and fairness. Karma hunts everyone.
