"You see the fear in the opponents' faces in the Champions League"

Real Madrid are, by their own merits, the kings of Europe. It doesn't matter how they are doing in La Liga, all it takes is to hear the Champions League anthem and they get down to work to show their best side.
Carlo Ancelotti's side face Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. The team will welcome a team that has just changed coach and wants to save their season with the Champions League.
Antonio Rudiger will be facing his former team. The German swapped the Stamford Bridge side for the Santiago Bernabeu one last summer.
"You see the fear in the opponents' faces in the Champions League," said the Real Madrid centre-back in an interview with 'Marca'. Real Madrid have earned the respect of the entire continent.
Rudiger is aware that being at the Spanish club is a step forward in terms of aspirations, but also in terms of demands on and off the pitch. "At Madrid, you have pressure even when you get in the car to go to training. It's much more difficult to defend here than in other teams", he explained.
Finally, he sent a message to the Santiago Bernabeu fans: "There are days when I can play badly, but people see that I'm going to give everything".
