Former Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger makes CRUCIAL late block from Mason Mount to preserve Real Madrid's 2-0 lead in Champions League quarter-final, as Blues fail score in four straight matches for first time in 30 YEARS

Former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger ensured his former side were dealt a shocking record as he returned to face the Blues.

The Real Madrid man was a second half substitute in the Champions League quarter-final tie between Madrid and Chelsea, slotting into central defence, where he made over 200 appearances for the Blues.

With Madrid 2-0 up in the game, Chelsea attacked with Marc Cucurella's deflected cross finding its way through to mason Mount after Eder Militao slipped.

Mount appeared destined to score, but Rudiger sprinted from his position to make a vital block and ensure his side kept their clean sheet in tact.
