Football News: Euro 2024, Champions League, and World Cup Updates
Scotland will be hoping for a strong performance in their upcoming Euro 2024 opener against Germany, after a training ground incident made headlines. During a crossing drill at Germany’s training camp, tensions flared between defender Antonio Rudiger and striker Niclas Fullkrug.
The incident reportedly saw Rudiger pull Fullkrug to the ground, leading the Borussia Dortmund player to angrily confront technical coach Mads Buttgereit, shouting, “Just blow the whistle already!” Rudiger and Fullkrug had to be separated by Julian Nagelsmann’s assistant, Sandro Wagner, before Rudiger was sent away for an individual running session.
The two players have faced off recently, with Rudiger’s Real Madrid defeating Fullkrug’s Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League final just ten days ago. While the pair appeared to have put the incident behind them, with Fullkrug posting pictures of the session on Instagram and Rudiger commenting with encouragement, such training ground altercations can sometimes lead to lingering tensions.
As the teams prepare for the Euro 2024 opener, Scotland will be hoping to capitalize on any potential distractions within the German camp. The squad will be eager to build on their recent success and make an impact in the tournament.
