Marca: Rudiger apologized to the referee who threw the tape himself, and the other party accepted his apology

According to Marca, after Real Madrid's 3-0 away victory over Real Oviedo, Rudiger personally apologized to the referee who threw tape himself.

Rudiger's return is not just an ordinary game. He re-embarked for Real Madrid after completing a long ban. Fate seems to have intentionally arranged a symbolic coincidence: the referee of this game was Ricardo de Burgos, who sent him off for Rudiger's misconduct in the final of the Cup final last season.

In that incident, Rudiger threw a muscle-effect strap at the referee due to his emotional loss and rushed towards the referee. However, this accident turned out to be an opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time. After the game, the Real Madrid defender took the initiative to find the referee and apologized to him in person. Previously, Rudiger had publicly apologized on social media, but he felt it was necessary to face the referee in person to make up for past mistakes.

According to media reports, De Burgos accepted Rudiger's apology. The two had a calm and constructive conversation, which ended in a friendly tone. It was a relief for Rudiger, not only regaining his feelings in La Liga, but also healing a dark chapter in his career.

Rudiger has set his sights on returning to his best shape in the new season, and although his contract expires next summer, he is not distracted by it, but is determined to complete a high-level season and become a key player for the team.

Recognizing the fierce competition in the back line, Rudiger hopes to win a main position and is ready to contribute when Alonso needs it. His first priority was to serve the team, and this dedication made him highly respected in the locker room.

In addition to his performance on the court, Rudiger is also indispensable for his personal charm. He always stays close to young players, gives them advice, and bridges different types of players to become the adhesive for the team's daily operations.

After his performance was affected by a knee injury at the end of last season, Rudiger hoped to get rid of his physical problems. He forced his comeback to help the team during the Club World Cup, and now after a summer of rest and recovery, he feels ready to go all out.
