'This is bigger than you': Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger sends stern message to Leicester City player after huge disrespect

Antonio Rudiger said the “disrespectful” gesture from a certain Leicester City player gave Chelsea “motivation” in Tuesday’s 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.

The 28-year-old was deservedly named the man of the match for his crucial role at both end of the pitch.

He scored the opening goal a couple of minutes into the second half but was also the busiest player in Chelsea’s defence. The centre-back made most tackles and interceptions (six in total) in the game.

Rudiger admitted that Chelsea did not show the same “power” in the FA Cup final defeat at Wembley, but it was not the case today.

Interestingly, Thomas Tuchel’s men might have derived that extra motivation from the Leicester City camp.

“Unfortunately some of them [Leicester City players] don’t know how to celebrate,” the Germany international told Chelsea TV after the game.

“We had to punish them for this — 100 per cent.

“Some of them gave us motivation. Congratulations to them, they won [the FA Cup]. Celebrate and everything, but don’t disrespect a club’s history.

“This is a bit bigger than you.”

Rudiger did not specifically mentioned it, but it was pretty obvious that he was referring to Leicester defender Daniel Amartey.

While the Foxes have already apologised, some Chelsea players were clearly still unhappy about the pennant incident.

Chelsea avenged their #FACup final defeat and moved above Leicester City into third spot in the Premier League with a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.

During the heated touchline brawl, several Chelsea players, including Thiago Silva and Mason Mount, were seen having a few words with Amartey. See video below

seems mr ruduger is still pained after losing dt final, Leicester won dt cup bvoz they were the better team and they deserve every right to celebrate the way they like n m not supporting wat dt amatey did...
jus pass ur message to the person involved than performing that show of power you did last nite..
mike dean was too soft with you and you may get a red card if you try dt with other European reff for example my lahoz of la liga..
rudiger had a nice game not until d final 5 mins dt he was just all over d place arguing n fighting with almost all Leicester players like say DM win cup n beat him wife join..
thats not a good spirit of sportsmanship abeg, even if u be superman, abeg jus save ur strength and fights for UCL finals because would need them badly against city dt day n matew lahoz would be incharge..
