Ruediger must show respect to others, says Voeller

Real Madrid defender Antonio Ruediger “has to change and he knows it himself” Germany sporting director Rudi Voeller said on Monday, following the player's behaviour in the Copa del Rey final.

Germany centre-back Ruediger was substituted in extra-time of Sunday's 3-2 Clasico loss to Barcelona before being sent off for throwing an object at referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea.

The 32-year-old had to be held back from confronting the official by fellow Madrid players and staff as he was shown a red card, with team-mates Lucas Vazquez and Jude Bellingham also dismissed at the end of the game.

"Toni is an exceptional footballer and a very emotional guy, a fighter on the pitch. He has to stay that way,” Voeller told German news agency SID, a subsidiary of AFP.
