Antonio Rudiger can't help himself! Real Madrid defender mocks Barcelona after shock LaLiga defeat

Antonio Rudiger was captured checking and laughing at Barcelona's score at full-time of their latest LaLiga encounter, in which they hosted relegation-battling Leganes at the Estadio Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in Montjuic. Leganes came away with a memorable 1-0 win against the current LaLiga leaders, who had a chance to go four points clear of Real Madrid and three points clear of Atletico Madrid in what is turning out to be a title race that is going to go right down to the wire.

Barcelona's loss to Leganes on Sunday night meant that they have now dropped 13 points in their last six league games, allowing their rivals from the Spanish capital to get right back into the title race. Atletico Madrid continued their impeccable run of form by earning a hard-fought 1-0 win to go level on points with Barcelona, while Real Madrid moved to within a point of the Blaugrana following a 3-3 thriller against Rayo Vallecano. Both Atleti and Real have played one game fewer than Hansi Flick's side.

Next weekend is set to be an incredible week in the Spanish top flight, as Barcelona will be welcoming Atletico Madrid in a top-of-the-table clash at Montjuic. While current form might be against Flick's troops, history sides with them going into this clash, as Diego Simeone's side have beaten Barca only twice in LaLiga since the start of the 2010-11 season. That's one victory every seven seasons.

Real Madrid will take on Sevilla in their next LaLiga fixture, which is slated to take place this weekend. But before that, they will be taking on Mexican heavyweights Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final in Lusail on December 18.
