Chelsea were a reasonably consistent club for most of their history. They won six Premier League titles, eight FA Cups, 5 League Cups, Champions League and Europa League titles.
They had many good centre-back throughout their history. But today we are comparing two of them- Antonio Rudiger and Marcel Desailly.
Desailly joined Chelsea in 1998, from AC Milan for a £6.08m fee. Rudiger joined the club from AS Roma, in 2017, for a fee of £31.50m.
During his time at Stamford Bridge, Desailly made 216 appearances, scored 7 goals and created 2 assists. He left Chelsea on a free transfer in 2004.
Jorginho, meanwhile, has made 105 appearances, has scored 6 goals and has created 2 assists.
Desailly's trophies with Chelsea: 2 English Super Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 English FA Cup.
Rudiger's trophies with Chelsea: 1 Europa League, English FA Cup.
Desailly's highest market value was £1.80m in 2004, while Rudiger's highest market value was £45.00m in 2019.
So who is better Desailly or Rudiger?
