Antonio Rudiger is excited to face his former club for the first time since his Chelsea departure after Real Madrid were drawn against the Blues in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The 30-year-old made the switch to the Santiago Bernabau in the summer after his contract expired at the Blues following a successful five-year spell in west London. Rudiger has been a mainstay in the Los Blancos side since his move, making 37 appearances in all competitions so far.
Although Rudiger's Real are nine points behind runaway leaders Barcelona in LaLiga, their form in the Champions League was exemplary despite losing once to RB Leizpig. They topped their group ahead of the German side, Shakhtar Donetsk and Celtic, picking up 13 points from a possible 18.
