Antonio Rudiger opens up on feeling "misled" on Chelsea exit before Real Madrid move

The Germany international, 29, penned a four-year contract in the Spanish capital after joining the club as a free agent from the Blues. The West London club were unable to agree a new contract with Rudiger and Thomas Tuchel announced his departure in April – joining Andreas Christensen in leaving Stamford Bridge at the end of his contract.

The former Stuttgart and Roma defender was instrumental in Chelsea's Champions League success at the end of the 2020/21 season. He enjoyed a resurgence in form under Blues boss Tuchel after being excluded from the team under the German’s predecessor, Frank Lampard.
