Mbappe seems destined to move to the Bernabeu in the summer when his contract expires.

But first he has the chance to finally win PSG the Champions League, with his side taking on Borussia Dortmund in the other semi-final.

But, if their sides do progress to the final, Rudiger is confident Real Madrid will be the victors in the final.

He sent a warning to Mbappe, saying: “If we face him in the final we’ll beat him.

“And if he dribbles past me I’ll smash him.”

Rudiger, 31, kept Erling Haaland quiet in both legs as Real knocked Manchester City out of the quarter-finals on penalties.

And he is not afraid to dish out some harsh treatment to Mbappe.

That's despite the fact the French superstar could make a move to the Bernabeu this summer.

Mbappe is understood to have signed a five-year deal and will pick up £85.5million signing-on fee.

But he will take a pay cut as Real are set to pay him £827,000-a-week.

Rudiger shared his thoughts on the proposed switch, saying: “The best players in history have always come to Real Madrid.

“He’s one of the best players in the world, so it would be a good match.”
