Arbeloa began: "I don't like to interfere in such matters; I have great respect for the club and the player, and both sides must understand each other."
He then stated: "I am ready to place a statue of Rüdiger in my garden. From day one, he was at the disposal of the coaching staff.
"He told me he'd be available in March when things got tough, and here he is. Real Madrid fans need to realize how lucky we are to have him with us.“
