Antonio Rüdiger was chosen by Carlo Ancelotti for the individual duel of one of the semifinals of the Champions League. The German central scorer was chosen to replace the Brazilian Éder Militão, suspended for accumulation of yellow cards.

After a start that forced to turn on the alarms, Haaland was deflating with the passing of the minutes. To a large extent, that was due to the suffocating mark of Ruediger, who chased him all over the field.
