Arsenal`s Myles Lewis-Skelly playfully mocked Real Madrid`s Antonio Rudiger on social media following a contentious incident during their match.
After delivering an impressive performance in Arsenal`s thrilling 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu, Lewis-Skelly took to Instagram to share his reaction to a moment involving Rudiger.
The Arsenal player`s Instagram post conveyed a playful mood following the match.
With the caption “Up!”, Lewis-Skelly shared a series of images showcasing his strong performance against Real Madrid.
The photos included moments of him challenging Vinicius Jr and skillfully evading Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde.
Notably, one of the images highlighted the controversial moment where Rudiger appeared to stamp on Lewis-Skelly, an action that went unpunished with a red card during the game.
Despite the incident where he was left on the ground after a challenge and Rudiger`s trailing leg making contact, Lewis-Skelly seemed to have the last laugh.
His final photo in the series showed him relaxed on the tunnel steps after the game concluded, seemingly unfazed by the earlier event.
Fans online quickly responded to Lewis-Skelly`s post, praising his performance and cheeky reaction.
Comments included remarks like “You are built different,” and “Posting the Rudiger thing is hilarious.”
Another comment pointed out, “Rudiger should have seen red,” while another fan simply stated, “How can you not love the kid.”
Arsenal`s victory in this leg of the Champions League quarter-final, following their 3-0 lead from the first leg, advanced them further in the competition.
Although Bukayo Saka missed a penalty earlier in the match, he later scored, putting Arsenal ahead. Real Madrid equalized due to a defensive error, but Gabriel Martinelli secured the win for Arsenal with a late goal.
Looking ahead, Arsenal is set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, meaning Lewis-Skelly could be matched up against prominent players like Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
