Antonio Rudiger defends his decision to take legal action against the attack on his post that he broadcast on social media at the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. The German player posted a picture of himself wearing a white dress on a prayer rug on his Instagram account, with his right index finger raised upward.

The former editor-in-chief of the German daily Bild, Julian Reichelt, criticized Rüdiger's post, and pointed out on his account on the X social networking site last Sunday that raising the index finger was an Islamic gesture.
