Real Madrid star Antonio Rudiger aimed a dig at Manchester City following their 1-1 draw in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
The two sides could not be separated in the first leg of their UCL semi-final, with Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior opening the scoring in the 36th minute with a sensational strike from range, before Kevin De Bruyne levelled the scores in similar fashion in the 67th minute.

The result means the English giants remain unbeaten in their past 21 games across all competitions, with their last defeat coming in a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur back in February.
With a treble still in sight for the Citizens, the Manchester club will hope to see out the tie at the Etihad next Wednesday, but Real defender Rudiger, once of Chelsea, believes their English opponents were toothless at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"They got the goal quite late so we feel like we could have had more, but it's not a problem, the tie is definitely on and we can go to Manchester with confidence," the Germany international said after the match, according to the Metro.
"At the end of the day, they were not dangerous.
"They had a lot of possession, we knew this would happen, but they were not dangerous.
"The goal is quality from De Bruyne."
Asked if he is confident Los Blancos can knock City out of Europe's biggest club competition, Rudiger replied: "We are Real Madrid, we are always confident."

City boss Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, was left puzzled by claims his side would blow Los Blancos away in the match.
"Everyone thought we would see City destroy Real Madrid," a beIN SPORTS reporter said to Guardiola, to which he replied: "Who's everyone? Do you know who we are playing against?
"Do you know how many Champions League titles they [Real Madrid] have? It's not my fault you thought we would win 6-0."
