This is absolutely brutal and could have been a leg breaker.
Rapid Wien faced AFC Ajax in the Ernst Happel Stadion on Wednesday night in their 3rd qualifying round Champions League tie.
The lowlight of the clash was this horror ‘tackle’ on 18-year-old defender Jaïro Riedewald by Rapid’s Stefan Schwab.

As you can see, there is no pretence to go for the ball. Instead the Austrian midfielder goes hurling into Riedewald’s shins with the most vicious intent.
Let’s hope he is punished with more than the red card he received.
