Real Madrid defender Rudiger: Haaland enjoys trash talking

Real Madrid defender Toni Rudiger has recalled his Champions League semifinal clash with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

Rudiger enjoyed the better of the contest in the first-leg, but was benched for the second-leg.

The Germany defender said: "I really like trash talking, and so does Haaland. It was a good duel that I really enjoyed.

"I told him I enjoyed it. It wasn't so bad what we said to each other."

City steamrolled Real 4-0 in the second-leg ahead of winning the title last night.
