Six clearances in loss
Rudiger recorded three crosses (zero accurate) and six clearances in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout loss to Paraguay.
Analysis: Rudiger played up until the final 10 minutes of extra time Monday, notching three crosses and six clearances in the loss. He would complete 114 passes as Germany controlled the game, although that control was not enough to earn them a second goal in 120 minutes of play. He ended the World Cup with two straight starts after the injury to Nico Schlotterbeck (ankle), recording two tackles and 13 clearances in 262 minutes of play, although he failed to earn a clean sheet as Germany didn't see any at the 2026 World Cup.
Records four clearances
Rudiger recorded one tackle (zero won) and four clearances in Thursday's 2-1 loss versus Ecuador.
Analysis: Rudiger started in the defense for the first time for Germany at this World Cup, recording a tackle and four clearances in his 90 minutes. With Nico Schlotterbeck out for the rest of the tournament, Rudiger is likely to now see an elevated role moving forward. However, with two goals allowed Thursday, this was a rough start for the center-back, with Waldemar Anton or Malick Thiaw as other options.
