Antonio Rudiger allegedly assaulted a security guard during a heated brawl between Real Madrid and Valencia at halftime. The incident erupted over a contested refereeing decision, with Valencia's sporting director Braulio Vasquez confronting the referee's assistant and vocally disputing the foul call that led to Real Madrid's opening goal.
As tensions boiled over, the players and staff from both sides engaged in a chaotic physical altercation inside the stadium tunnel. Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham tried to intervene by grabbing Vasquez's jacket, but this only further inflamed the situation. Security guards quickly arrived and separated the combatants, but Rudiger was accused of striking a security guard in the face while trying to break up the fight.
Police officers were called to restore order, and Ibrahima Konate ultimately managed to calm the situation and allow the match to continue. Despite the pre-match turmoil, Real Madrid went on to defeat Valencia 3-0.
