Antonio Rudiger bizarrely claims he DELIBERATELY made mistakes while at Chelsea to liven up their fans when they were 'too quiet', as he reveals he was 'surprised' and 'sad' about Thomas Tuchel's Stamford Bridge sacking

Eradicating mistakes is key to being an elite defender, but for Antonio Rudiger that doesn't appear to be the case with the now-Real Madrid man revealing he would deliberately make some while playing for Chelsea.

Rudiger swapped the blue of west London for the white of Madrid this summer - leaving the Premier League outfit on a free transfer.

It brought an end to five seasons at Stamford Bridge where the centre back won the Champions League, FA Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup.
