Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger has ducked claims he's now a "legend" after winning the Champions League final.

He insists last season's victory was all about the group.

"It was good, but 'legend', I wouldn't say that," Rudiger explained to The 5th Stand. "We did it as a team, as a group, and a 'legend' is for other people to decide. But for me it is just that we won the Champions League together as a group and it was good.

"It was not only that challenge by me, it was Azpi's challenge, it was also Reece's challenge, Christensen's challenge and Kai's goal, Mason's assist. It was a good team effort."

Rudiger also hailed the the blend of the current squad.

"Obviously, with success, everything is good, but here there was a good bond already. There's a lot of young players and we have Thiago Silva who is the grandpa and the youngest I think is Tino Anjorin, who is the child. It's a good mix"
