Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final to win their 15th European championship, capping off their season in the best possible way.
Many domestic rivals find themselves putting aside their rivalry to reconnect as colleagues on their national team when the club football season ends.
Niclas Fullkrug and Antonio Rudiger, the German national team’s rivals from the Champions League final, have regrouped to get ready for the 2024 European Championship, which will start in Berlin soon.
But even after a few days after the championship match, it seems Rudiger and Fullkrug are still not very happy, since there is still obvious hostility between them.
In fact, Fullkrug and Rudiger got into a furious argument during training today, according to Madrid Universal

What Happened?
The Dortmund striker was left sprawled on the ground following a particularly forceful challenge by the Real Madrid mainstay. This is when the incident started. Fullkrug started swearing at Rudiger, clearly in agony.
The German center-forward then got up and walked up to Rüdiger, pushing him as they came face to face.
There are just a few days left until the Euros start and Germany plays Scotland, so the division between the great center back of Real Madrid and the striker of Borussia Dortmund is not good for the team’s spirit.
Because of this, team manager Julian Nagelsmann will be keen to bring stability back and will be hoping that the incident was a one-time occurrence that happened in a pinch.
On the field, former Real Madrid player Toni Kroos—who will hang up his boots after the competition—has a reputation for being the voice of reason. Given that he is among the team’s most seasoned players, he would probably try to resolve the conflict behind closed doors.
