'I had never seen him doing that': Ancelotti explains why Rudiger took winning penalty v Man City

"I had never seen him [Rudiger] take a penalty," Carlo Ancelotti has told the media.

"We trained them on Monday and he scored all three he took," the Italian added.

Petition to make Antonio the first-choice penalty taker from now on? He seems to have some talent!

Rudiger converted Real Madrid's fifth penalty kick in the shoot-out to send the Whites to the Champions League semi-finals – and did it in style.

Except for shoot-outs, the 31-year-old has never taken a pen in games.
