Antonio Rudiger has claimed the current Chelsea squad are "nothing like" the one he won the Champions League with in 2021 as his Real Madrid side prepare to face the Blues this week.
Just 13 of Chelsea's current first-team squad were playing for the Blues in their European triumph under Thomas Tuchel almost two years ago. The club has massively changed in those two years and is now under new ownership, with the head coach role also something that has been continuously altered along the way.
Rudiger left Chelsea when his contract expired 12 months after the club's Champions League success, with the Germany international having an offer from Real Madrid that was too good to turn down. The 30-year-old will now come up against Chelsea for the first time since leaving the club and has been explaining how the side is nothing like the one he played with during his days in west London.
