Antonio Rudiger admits he is overwhelmed by the loyalty Chelsea fans have shown him as he opened up about an incident where they leaped to his defence when one supporter abused him.
The defender is set to play his last game for the Blues at the weekend against Watford as he joins Real Madrid as a free agent. The Stamford Bridge faithful will be gutted to lose the German but they will surely give him a great send-off due to their great relationship with him.
Rudiger alluded to this special connection with the support during an incident after a 6-0 defeat by Manchester City in 2019 as he said goodbye to the Chelsea fanbase with a piece on The Players' Tribune. The stopper revealed that one supporter started hurling abuse at him as he went over to the visiting fans to apologise for the heavy loss.
