The German defender has been criticised for using "excessive force" to stop the midfielder in his tracks at Estadio do Dragao
Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has slammed Antonio Rudiger for his "reckless" foul on Kevin De Bruyne in the Champions League final, insisting the Chelsea defender should have been shown a red card.
De Bruyne went off in the second half of the defeat to the Blues after a tackle by the German defender, revealing the following day that he was diagnosed with an "acute nose bone fracture and left orbital fracture".
It remains unclear if De Bruyne will feature at Euro 2020 this summer and his national team manager feels the challenge should have been punished with more than the yellow card Rudiger received.
