Real Madrid's Antonio Ruediger has been instrumental in helping his team secure victory over FC Barcelona in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash.
The German defender, who was handed the captaincy by manager Zinedine Zidane after the departure of Sergio Ramos to Juventus, played a crucial role in Real Madrid's win.
Ruediger, who is known for his excellent defensive work-rate and aerial prowess, was one of the key figures in stopping Barcelona's attack.
His defensive efforts were crucial in keeping Lionel Messi and Co. at bay, as they managed just two shots on target during the match.
However, it was his assist that stood out most in the match.
In the 57th minute, he found space on the right flank and whipped in a cross which was met by Karim Benzema, who slotted home the equalizer.
The goal put Real Madrid back into the game and gave them a fighting chance of progressing to the semi-finals.
Despite being underdogs going into the match, Real Madrid have now progressed to the last eight of the Champions League with confidence and determination.
It will be interesting to see how Ruediger performs in the upcoming matches as he looks to continue his impressive form and help his team reach the final stages of Europe's premier club competition.
