Real Madrid defender Toni Rudiger has urged Vinicius Junior to focus on his football.

Ahead of tomorrow's Champions League clash with Liverpool, Rudiger was asked about his teammate's form and attitude towards opponents.

He said, "It goes 50-50. He has to focus on his way of playing, because he is one of the best, but he has a process ahead of him to learn.

"But it's also difficult when you get kicked so much. The referees have to do a better job and they should treat him like any other, no better or worse."

German added, "Honestly, taking into account the club's history, it's not easy to play for Real Madrid because of the history it has. In the end you grow."
