The Real Madrid defender gave his future teammate a friendly warning during their recent match.
Antonio Rüdiger had the opportunity to go head-to-head with Kylian Mbappé when Real Madrid faced Paris Saint-Germain. The two players will be teammates next season, but for now, they were opponents.
Rüdiger didn’t hesitate to put some pressure on Mbappé, telling him during one duel: “Kylian, you’ll never beat me again!” This phrase shows the complicity that already exists between the two players, even though they are not yet teammates.
It is possible that this was not the last time that Rüdiger and Mbappé will face each other before they play together at Real Madrid. The two clubs could meet in the Champions League final if they both qualify. In addition, the two players could also face each other at the international level during the Euro.

What is already practically certain is that Mbappé will join Real Madrid next season. The French striker is expected to announce his departure from PSG after the Champions League quarter-finals, in order to avoid a duel between the two clubs.
Even though everyone knows the outcome of this story, Mbappé and his entourage want to manage the communication carefully. It is important for the player’s image, and they want to keep it intact.
Mbappé has always wanted to leave PSG on a positive note. He may not leave the club as he had hoped, but he will do his best to leave in style.
