Antonio Rudiger admitted he was "very nervous" when his "idol" Ronaldo congratulated him on his move to Real Madrid.
The Germany international, 29, has completed a free transfer to the Spanish capital after his Chelsea contract expired this month. He's signed a four-year deal with Carlo Ancelotti's side and will wear the No22 shirt, which became vacant following Isco's recent release.
Rudiger boasts a fine CV. He won the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup during his five-year spell at Stamford Bridge. The Blues also reached three more FA Cup finals and the EFL Cup final twice during that time.
