Thank you for everything Rudi! We love you and wish you all the best in Madrid! Go and smash it like you did for us. Good luck and thank you again! 💙
Younes no cap I saw your notification about rudi saying goodbye and I searched for this video really going to miss rudi good luck in Madrid
Never thought it would happen.. damn sad he’s leaving what a player what a personality he’s on the same level as Kante for me
Except against chelsea.. hahaha
Gonna miss him!
Younes,let him not smash it against us😂
My respect for this guy has quadrupled, he didn’t leave through the back doors like others. Even Hazard didn’t do a tribute video like this and we Chelsea fan still love him. You could hear and see the hurt in his voice. Wish him all the best
You can tell Chelsea means a lot to him.
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊✊😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Re Adam you can tell Chelsea means so much him? Cobblers he don't care all he cares about is his bank account!! Without CFC he was nothing , so sod off Eden failed there you will follow!!!!
@@roycarter9487 shut up man
@@roycarter9487 shut up. He has a family to feed and take care of. Football clubs are profit making companies and footballers are either assets or liabilities to them.
Rudi, as a 65 yr old man, i have seen many changes in Football, so many players come and go, so many players, who just excited me so much, and you Sir, for me, have been the best defender who can be relied on, with such energy, and determination to be the first to the ball and to get another attack underway. Your focus is 1000% positive, and your love of Chelsea, and life, is Totally beautiful to see. What you share with us all in this video today, does not surprise me at all. It comes from one of the most incredible players to ever grace English Football, and for that Rudi, i thank you so much, and hope your future holds some very good moments for you and your family/Team. Maybe one day, you will come back as a Coach to Chelsea? Stay safe Rudi, God bless you!!!
you're old
Mr Chris Can I also be Your African Friend ???
@@awalibrahim8933 Ahh ahh😂… una wan turn am to client😂
He definitely had top mentality and top character...he is still giving his best when he knows he is leaving this club... normally players perform casually in this situation.....100% respect 🙏
One of our best defenders, and we’ve had many. Madrid are getting a gem.
right, like this is how it should always beee.
Character? He choose money over chelsea
@@ahmet_10 he waited for long time to get contract but Lampard and marina didn't offer...than Tuchel came he became different beast but still marina didn't given an increment which rudiger deserve after cl glory..so he did the right thing
Right structure, right mentality, right culture= good players turning into monsters. No one thought about him under Lampard, no one will forget his name under Tuchel. Great privilege to see such a dominant player in his prime.
Hsyu czcams.com/video/SAOSN9zKOhA/video.html
This comment right here is 110% facts🤝
Under Lampard he is still great player only Lampard couldn't rediscovered the qualities in him, Lampard only believed in certain other defenders so not believing him didn't change the fact that Rudigar is a brilliant defender even in his days at Roma his so great
So why’s he leaving exactly? Finances? Nah that sounds too generous…for money????
@@wespicedmemes uncertainty
He’s gone out with absolute class unlike under players like Courtois and Christensen. Hopefully he’ll return one day, club legend
He gave up legend status by leaving he was almost there
Courtois is doing way better rn. Relax
@@maxp5422 he’s a legend to me for the Champions League and how he’s handled himself generally with the fans over his five years
@@chadeonjohnson6837 I didn’t say he’s bad, I said he left Chelsea in the rattiest way possible
@@barry4649 lol so it’s wrong to wanna experience something different? That’s crazy. Or this about madrid beating Chelsea recently?
Tears in my eyes can't believe it.....I came alone but leaving with 2kids and wife that's why London will always be my home...Rudiger you just blown millions mind with ur speech..you are indeed a Legend and we will love to see you again in the future...Blues forever 💙
Blues 💙 forever 👊
This interview was spot on. What a guy and what a player! Chelsea legend for sure! ⚽🏆💙
Realy.....This man is very very impressive!!! Best of luck for new club Real Madrid
GREAT PLAYER - WILL BE MISSED BY ALL REAL FOOTBALL FANS. This From A Liverpool Fan :(
He’s still gonna play football lad not retiring
@@Relax_xvv he’s saying Madrid don’t have real fans bro it’s all glory hunters & funded by the government, Madrid boo their on players for doing the slightest thing wrong lol look at how they have treated bale who’s been world class for them over the years
You should be crying over your bottlejob with the prem not over rudiger. Last points you dropped was to the bottle kings spurs hahaha imagine losing the title because of SPURS.
Fr let’s see how does in Madrid
@@SARGONX Madrid is not funded by the government, its owned by Los Socios (fans), don't believe me, checkout the financial reports in their website, they are available in the public domain. Bale deserves to be booed, the guy is a legend in my book and scored a couple of very important goals, but the man has been unprofessional and disrespectful in many occasions. All other players love the club.
I will admit that as a fan base we've allowed toxic people to have a louder voice and have abused you guys even when you were at your lowest. We haven't always been the best to you guys but I thank you wholeheartedly for the literal blood sweat and tears you've given to the badge and to us. Throwing your entire body into tackles and never giving up even when you were exhausted.
You are a true Chels through and through Antonio Rudiger. 💙
You will always be cheered for in my house forever. Thank you
Hshuh czcams.com/video/SAOSN9zKOhA/video.html
And it will happen again
No he is not Chelsea through and through! He has been here only a few years! He has now cashed in on the name Chelsea has given him! No loyalty only greed!!!! Let's not fool ourselves. He has gone for the big bucks! One greedy mercenary!
Some of the fans are so toxic. Abuses directed towards players and managers are not cool.
@@timlockett1116 Have a day off Tim, people change clubs, get over it.
It's a shame to see you leave, but I know you'll thrive wherever you go. Thank you for everything you gave us. You'll forever be a part of Chelsea 💙
Beautiful words ❤
As a real Madrid fan, I appreciate your words to him 🙏 💙
I'm in tears 😢
@@kelvinikechukwu312 you have a good one coming your way, hope you appreciate him :)
@@joanasantos6728 just like coutoise, we love him
you cannot imagine how excited I am, with rudi and mbappe coming to Madrid... its gonna be lit 🔥 🤪
As a chelsea fan all my respect goes to this guy. He's been so good to us and always gave 200%. We gonna miss him like no other player. Wish you all the very best. We build great relationship together. We love you rudi. Blues for ever.
From a Madrid fan, I can’t wait for Toni to play for us. You can see the emotion in his voice leaving such a legacy in Chelsea with his accomplishments, etc… What a defender he is man❤️❤️❤️
He will be missed. His professionalism even after he knew he would be leaving needs to be talked about. He still gave 1000%.
Yea normally players just get lazy
Christensen should learn a thing or two from him. 😅
True
@@ahmedali6937 popooo
Big respect for giving us fans a video to say goodbye. You'll be remembered as a legend for the work you put in and leadership in getting us that UCL win last season.
Sure
This man will always be one of my favorite players to play for the blues, I hope for nothing but the best for him and his family moving forward. Thank you rudi.
What a humble person we've signed, true gem. Welcome to Madrid Rudi!
Props to Rudiger he has fought the whole season always at least a 8/10 even tho he knows he's going, Shame others haven't done the same
Christensen should learn a thing or two from him. 😅
What a guy 👏👏👏
Efg czcams.com/video/SAOSN9zKOhA/video.html
Literally what I said as soon as the video ended👏🏽 I don't even like CFC either
I'm thankful to this man and will never forget his clearence at the final in Dragao. Good luck Rudi
Making me emotional as a Chelsea fan 😢 Thank you for everything Toni we all love you 💙
Thanks for everything Rudiger, what a player you have been for us 👏🏻 💙

This is a very brilliant interview, very honest, and emotional, as a Chelsea fan I wish u all the best Rudi, we will never forget that night in Porto, goodbye.
It was because of Marina’s arrogant tactics that we lost him. She ghosted him for months. It’s not his fault that he decided to move. His hand was forced.
@@fadhilm.c.6420 is that his agent
@@thelastArmy6453 no she is Our director
Menh this is actually emotional for me. He was one of my favorites. Always vigilant, alerting and keeping the defense line active. Am going to miss him.
All the best man.
He speaks so smoothly, you can tell he speaks from the bottom of his heart 💙💙💙
You gave us the Champions League 🏆 & that will stay in our hearts forever. The block 🚫 against Foden was as important & memorable as scoring a goal. We wish you all the best Rudi 👍💙
As an Arsenal fan , I have nothing but absolute respect for this man. Class act on and off the pitch , world class defender and he scored some absolute screamers in his time. I wish we had a player like him in our squad haha .Can't wait to see how he does at Madrid and best of luck to him!
I wouldn’t say “class act” but defiantly a top player
Class act off the pitch. On the pitch it's a different story.
@@ConnorLumsden you can't expect a center back to be class act on the pitch
Defo not a class act on the pitch 🤣🤣🤣
Class act on the field 😂😂🤣 the guy is a clown who always looked for trouble, great CB but a proper idiot. Glad he is gone
He always tried his best in his last matches for the club and i respect that. Good luck! I still remember him asking Hazard to stay. Hope it could somehow help Hazard get back on form in Madrid.
Toni is an intelligent guy with a great attitude. It's a shame the club couldn't sort the contract out.
Great player, Fantastic person.
All the best rudi on your new journey. #True Blue.
Even Liverpool fans love this Guy I have never seen anyone passionate about the game like him he was true Leader for Chelsea. His tackles where ruthless and his ambition to win games. He was the glue that won that champions league. Respect. What a Huge gain for Madrid they'll be scary next year
Error prone.Only suitable in a back three system
LFC supporter here…absolutely love Rüdiger
I thinks he’s a prick.
I have tears in my eyes right now. Thank you for everything, Rudi. All the best for what lies ahead!

Will never forgot you man 💙
Thank you for everything Rudi so many memories, heartbreaks and laughter and celebrations!! 5 years flew by so fast, All the best!!! Top professionalism and humility especially in correlation with being a fellow Muslim, thank you for being such a great example too, Alhamdulillah!
Rudi is going to be a massive loss for us, such a character. Loved it when he stormed forward & scored & loved his reaction when he missed, crazy 🤪. Gutted when he leaves.

U will be soon a midtable club again without the blood money.
@@GuessWhoisBackAlbert I smell a gooner, and in your dreams mate.
Fantastic player. The right passion, the right aggression. I can't remember Rudi ever getting a red card despite what people think. Absolute legend! Thanks for playing for and respecting the badge! Massive respect!!! Cheering you on tomorrow!
we are going to miss u rudi! 😪 thank you for everything and have great success in Madrid! 💙
We’ll miss you a lot Rudi, thanks for everything 💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks for your commitment and giving your best to Chelsea fc, you will be dearly missed. Wish you all the best in your next journey.
Always a true Blue Antonio Rudiger! Incredible person and player!
He was one of the players who played for the badge and team unlike Lukaku which ain't care or even Christesen
Thank you Antonio, you stayed committed and never felt any kind of stomach ache on matchday. True soldier and Legend.
Absolute Club legend, thank you so much for everything you've done for us Rudi 💙 good luck in the future!

One of the best defenders in the world 🙌🏻
Thank you for everything Rudiger. I love your attitude when you go to the fans at Stamford bridge and talk with them a few years ago. Your story and journey really inspired me to become more hardworking in life. Your hashtag #Hustle is not only a hashtag but you show it in the real life. Lastly, Goodluck in your next chapter. I wish and hope you become more successful in the future.
Thank you for everything Rudi!! I'll admit that there were moments when I had big doubts about you in your Chelsea career but last few years you have improved so much. You've grown into a leader, you've been vocal and showed passion in the field. You've changed my mind. We will miss you and I really hope you become a huge success for Real Madrid. Good luck

Unlike Hazard and Courtios they left and didn't explain why

@@maankafori21 Don't put Hazard and Courtois in the same bracket. Hazard dedicated a comprehensive post that explained everything.
So sad to see you go, and I know that you will kill it in Madrid. We love you and respect you a lot. You stayed honest and fully committed even during the uncertain moments. What more can you ask. Class act!!
