Antonio Rudiger's unacceptable behavior in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona has raised concerns from the German Football Association (DFB). He angrily reacted toward referee Ricardo de Burgos, even throwing an object in frustration. Although Rudiger has reached out to the DFB and apologized, and is unlikely to face internal punishment, he may face a substantial ban from La Liga. DFB officials emphasize the importance of demonstrating class and respect in behavior, particularly as a representative of the national team. Rudiger’s emotional nature on the pitch was noted, but he is expected to maintain professionalism.
"Toni is a first-class player but as a national player, he must also demonstrate class in his behaviour. He rightly demands respect for himself."
"Rudiger is an outstanding footballer and a very emotional guy, a fighter on the pitch, but in this case, he and some of his teammates allowed themselves to be too caught up in the extremely heated atmosphere before the game."
