Antonio Rudiger picks his toughest opponents team: Two Manchester City and two Liverpool players in the squad

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has picked his toughest opponents team. During his career Rudiger played in three of European leagues, including the Bundesliga with Stuttgart, the Serie A with Roma and the Premier League with Chelsea. On Sky Sports' brand-new programme The Football Show, when it came to picking the 11 toughest players he has faced, the defender selected Manchester City stars Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero and two Liverpool defenders Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson as well. Speaking on De Bruyne and Aguero, he said; "I played against him [De Bruyne] in Germany. In those days, it was hell to play against Wolfsburg because they were a really tough side with good quality players, and of course he was the best in that team. He has everything; his crossing, passing, the way he shoots on his left and right foot and his technical ability - he is really, really good. For me, he [Aguero] is a top striker. He's small, compact and a goalscorer who scores for fun. For a big defender, his centre of gravity is very low and it's difficult because of his good movement." The Blues defender also shared his thoughs on van Dijk and Robertson. "In the last two years he's [van Dijk] shown he is definitely one of the best, even maybe the best at the moment. He is a beast. You always look up to those kind of players because these two centre-backs are, at the moment, the best centre-back, so of course you can learn something from them. Everyone has their own style of playing, but you can learn from them.  This guy [Robertson] doesn't stop running, he is active the whole time, going forward and backwards. He is very good at crossing and overall, both defensively and offensively, he is doing a very good job." Rudiger’s hardest opposition line-up includes Manuel Neuer, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Sergio Ramos, N'Golo Kante, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
