Alonso comes to the defence of Rudiger

Date:

Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger says he was racially abused at the end of his side’s Club World Cup win against Mexican side Pachuca.

Rudiger clashed with Pachuca captain Gustavo Cabral in injury time when the Germany defender went down claiming he had been fouled by the Argentine.

Rudiger then spoke to referee Ramon Abatti Abel, who crossed his arms in front of his chest, which signals the anti-racism protocol has been activated.

It is unclear whether the alleged racial abuse was from someone in the crowd or a player.

Real manager Xabi Alonso said: “That’s what Rudiger said, and we believe him.

“It is important to have zero tolerance in these kinds of situations. Fifa now is investigating. That’s all I can say.”
