The outcome is very sad for De Bruyne and Man. City, but I don't think Rudiger took too much risk there, not enough for a red. It's a cynical block and every now and then it will injure the opponent, unlucky.
Some cynical challenges deserve a red card though due to the outcome, that is what I'm saying.
We've seen it before when players have their leg broken after an accidental challenge and the player who did the challenge was sent off and it wouldn't have been a red had the player not been injured.
