Real Madrid: Antonio Rudiger goes viral for crazy run vs Celta Vigo

Real Madrid made it two wins from two in La Liga on Saturday evening.

The Spanish champions were pushed all the way by Almeria in their first fixture, but eventually secured a 2-1 comeback victory thanks to David Alaba’s superb second half free-kick.

Against Celta Vigo on Saturday, things were far easier for Real Madrid. They cruised to a 4-1 away win without both Casemiro and Toni Kroos in midfield next to Luka Modric – who bagged one of the goals.

Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior and Fede Valverde were Los Blancos’ other scorers on the night, with Iago Aspas the man responsible for Celta Vigo’s sole effort.

It was a dominant display from Carlo Ancelotti’s men. Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga were superb in midfield, while summer arrival Antonio Rudiger was solid after replacing Dani Carvajal in the 69th minute.

And the former Chelsea man even found time to bring out some of his crazy antics while Real Madrid were 4-1 up and cruising.

During a short but eventful cameo, Rudiger completed one of the bonkers runs with the ball across the pitch that have become something of a trademark for him in recent years.

His running style at times is quite simply hilarious, but it’s also very effective and Real Madrid were actually awarded a penalty at the end of the burst – which has unsurprisingly gone viral on social media.

Nahhhh seriously tho Rudiger is doing these runs on purpose, there is no way it’s his real running style. It’s too funny
