Rudiger picks tougher opponent between Messi, Osimhen

Real Madrid defender, Antonio Rudiger has claimed that it is more difficult to defend against tall players like Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen.

The 30-year-old believes he lives for such challenging moments of the game when he has to come up against tough opponents.

“Defending against tough opponents? It is what I live for. Those are the moments I love – when all odds are against you when everyone talks against you.

“This is how it was with Haaland. I live for those moments.

“It is tough to defend against tall players like [Erling] Haaland or [Victor] Osimhen, but I prefer to play against players of this height – rather than players of the height like [Lionel] Messi for example,” the German international said.
