Antonio Rudiger: Real Madrid’s 2022/23 squad depth with latest signing

Real Madrid capped off an already brilliant 2021/22 season by overcoming Liverpool to lift another Champions League crown.

After dominating La Liga for the most part, Real put together an extraordinary run in the Champions League to reach the final, showing their knockout stage knowhow with a string of resilient, comeback victories.

Seeing off Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Manchester City and then Liverpool in the final, it could be one of the greatest Champions League campaigns ever. It’s insane to think people had written them off throughout the competition, too.

You simply cannot ignore all that illustrious history and endless levels of experience within the squad, however, which has given Real an unbreakable level of football heritage, if you will.

Despite being overlooked by so many throughout the season, the La Liga and Champions League double has reminded fans of just how good Los Blancos’ squad is right now, and it’s getting even better.

Antonio Rudiger’s move from Chelsea to Real Madrid has finally been confirmed, with the German defender signing for the Champions League winners as a free agent.

What a piece of business that is.
