Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger has detailed how they must defend against Manchester City in the Champions League final.

Rudiger will be desperate to end this season for Chelsea on the ultimate high by overcoming Premier League rivals City in the Champions League final in Porto this weekend.

And ahead of the European final, Rudiger has told his Chelsea team-mates they need to be brave defensively.

"City will have the ball more often than we do, we know that," Rudiger said. "But in the back row there are more or less direct duels. Every defender should have the courage to play one-on-one duels.

"Sure, Ilkay [Gundogan], [Phil] Foden, [Riyad] Mahrez, [Kevin] De Bruyne – you can't give them all a lot of space.

"If we don't get high into midfield pressing and play the balls to the top, then you have to work hard and, above all, be willing to suffer."
