UCL: Video of Rudiger showing Lunin which way Kovacic will shoot penalty emerges

Antonio Rudiger was the hero of the night as Real Madrid dumped title holders Manchester City in a keenly contested UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash.

The German international scored the winning kick as Los Blancos beat Pep Guardiola's side 4-3 on penalties after the game ended in a 1-1 stalemate (4-4 on aggregate).

Rodrygo gave Carlo Ancelotti's side the lead early in the second half before Kevin De Bruyne equalized for the Cityzens with about quarter of an hour left to play.

Bernado Silva and former Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic missed their spot kicks for Manchester City after Luka Modric had missed Real Madrid's first kick.

The latest video from the intense clash reveals that Antonio Rudiger did more than just scoring the final kick of the game. The former Chelsea defender was captured showing goalkeeper Lunin which direction Kovacic was placing his spot kick.

The trick worked to perfection as Lunin saved the spot kick to hand Real Madrid the advantage.

Rudiger and Mateo Kovacic played together at Chelsea.
