Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger is up for tonight's showdown with Atletico Madrid striker Luis Suarez.

In the first-leg of their round 16 Champions League tie, which Chelsea won 1-0, it was Rudiger who found himself most often coming face to face with the Uruguayan, including in one incident when Suarez appeared to pinch his inner thigh.

"He defends his badge, I defend mine," said the German on the eve of tonight's big game.

"This isn't something that gives me a boost. I go with no feeling of pressure of his revenge or something like this. I am just focused on our targets: to win the game and pass through.

"He is a world-class player and he has shown that at every club he has been at. He has a lot of fight in him. He's a tough opponent.

"The attack is not only Luis Suarez, it's Joao Felix who is a great talent and a good young prospect. He is a different type of player but a player I love to watch because of his technique. He has something special."
