Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has suggested that Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger could be set to ‘regret’ his emotional reaction to the Blues' heart-wrenching loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League. The German was on the end of a gutting 5-4 aggregate loss to the Spanish giants on Tuesday evening, having at one point looked like part of a side that was set to secure another memorable European victory.
The Blues raced into a 3-0 lead at the Santiago Bernabeu on the night, Mason Mount, Timo Werner and Rudiger himself all finding the net. However, Los Blancos then edged themselves ahead again thanks to Rodrygo’s strike and Karim Benzema’s extra-time winner.
Upon the final whistle in Spain, Rudiger did not react too kindly to Chelsea ’s elimination. After former Bayern Munich star David Alaba attempted to console him, the German was pictured pushing away before falling to his knees.
