Antonio Rudiger issues warning to Man City ahead of Chelsea FC final Champions League encounter.
Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger thinks that Chelsea FC’s rank as underdogs heading into the Champions League final on Saturday with suit the south west London side.
Chelsea FC are planning for their encounter against their Premier League rivals this weekend as they look to conquer the Champions League for the second time since 2012.
Manchester City, meantime, have never won Europe’s elite club competition and the Citizens are the favourites to victory on Saturday and complete a treble of trophies under Pep Guardiola this season.
Man City, however, have lost their last two encounters with Chelsea FC, with the London side having won over City in both the FA Cup and the Premier League in recent weeks.
Rudiger reveals that Manchester City are a “top team” but he holds that the underling role could suit the Blues heading into Saturday’s showpiece.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Rudiger said: “City are a top team, they have shown it for years and they are a great side. But we managed to beat them twice this season and it will be an interesting game. Definitely.
“Maybe it will be in their heads, I don’t know, but 100 per cent it will be interesting.
“If we look back at the season, Brighton, Southampton or even Leeds, and everyone was saying they are must-win games and yet we dropped points.
“Then, on the other hand, when we played even Man City, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, people said it would be tough for Chelsea and the underdog role suits us very well.
“Somehow it takes the pressure away from you because people expect you to fail, to lose and then you turn around those expectations.”
Chelsea FC finished in fourth place in the Premier League and suffered the FA Cup final loss to Leicester City earlier this month, so they will be well-honed to end the campaign with a crown.
Manchester City have now won the League Cup and Premier League this season as they hunt for a treble of trophies this term.
