Real Madrid defender, Antonio R\u00fcdiger, has said dealing with \u201csuper striker\u201d Erling Haaland in their Champions League quarter-final clash with Manchester City is \u201cpersonal\u201d.<\/p>\n
Los Blancos will be seeking revenge on City, who dumped them out from last season\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n
R\u00fcdiger handled Haaland well in last year\u2019s semi-final first leg, which finished 1-1 at the Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n
But he was benched for the return leg at the Etihad, which ended in a comfortable 4-0 victory for City.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a good game last year at the Bernab\u00e9u,\u201d R\u00fcdiger said in a pre-match news conference ahead of Tuesday\u2019s match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all did a great job keeping Haaland quiet that evening. And my teammates did a good job keeping [Kevin] De Bruyne quiet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time, the plan will be to control dangerous players like Phil Foden, De Bruyne, and Haaland\u2026 It\u2019s personal for me as a defensive player, against a super striker like Haaland.\u201d<\/p>\n
