Breaking news: Rudiger spotted creating mischief as slaps Chalobah during CWC celebrations
Eagle-eyed Chelsea fans have spotted
Antonio Rudiger delievering a painful
-looking slap to the bare back of team-
mate Trevoh Chalobah as the pair
celebrated their Club World Cup triumph
in the changing rooms with the rest
of the squad.
The Blues saw off Palmeiras 2-1 on
Saturday in Abu Dhabi, thanks to an
extra time penalty from Kai Havertz
three minutes from the end after
Lukaku's earlier 54th-minute strike
in the regular 90 minutes had been
cancelled out.
The win sparked jubilant celebrations
in the dressing rooms afterwards,
with Thomas Tuchel's men filmed
jumping up and down on the club's
official TikTok page.
But during the celebrations, Rudiger
can be seen getting down from one
of the dressing room benched to then
sneak behind a topless Chalobah,
where he then delivers an almighty
slap to the back of the young Englishman.
The slap can be heard among the
cheering Chelsea players before
Chalobah lets out a huge scream much
to the amusement of Blues supporters
that clocked on to Rudiger's
Misbehavior antics.
Rudiger can then be seen sneaking
to the front of the group after committing
the hilarious but devious prank on his
team-mate.
However, while Rudiger appeared
to get away with it, Chalobah has hilariously
vowed to get his 'revenge soon' after
watching the video back on Twitter.
The clip, which has been doing the
rounds on social media, has left Chelsea
fans in hysterics with many labelling
Rudiger as 'troublesome' and a 'menace'.
One fan tweeted: 'Rudiger is genuinely
a menace to society.'
While another added: 'Rudiger is trouble.'
Another fan compared Chalobah's scream
to one found on Tom and Jerry cartoons.
They said: 'That scream was the best
, straight out of tom and jerry.'
Tuchel's side qualified for the event after
winning the Champions League last
season but had previously lost the final
in 2012 - the only occasion a European
side has failed to win the Champions
League and World Cup double since 2006.
Victory for the west London outfit sparked
celebrations among the playing staff
as they danced on the pitch and showed
off their medals at the Mohammed bin
Zayed Stadium.
Havertz, who also scored the winner
in the Champions League final last
summer, was among those leading
the celebrations as he took part in
some brief dodgy dancing with team-
mate Mason Mount on the pitch.
Mount although involved with the
celebrations had a heavily bandaged
right foot having been taken off injured
in the 31st minute due to an ankle
injury that could now keep him sidelined
for a lengthy spell.
The 23-year-old looked in serious discomfort
during the post-match celebrations,
though, and did not want to put any
weight on his right leg, hopping around
and leaning on another injured Chelsea
man, Ben Chilwell.
Chilwell, along with Reece James
, was also among the Blues cheerleaders
after the game, and uploaded dressing
room pictures of the jubilant celebrations.
The duo were pictured holding their
winners' medals from the tournament
even though injury prevented them from
playing a single minute in the Middle East.
While all the players managed to get
their hand on winners' medals and
the Club World Cup trophy itself,
centre-back Thiago Silva left the tournament
with slightly more to celebrate than
his team-mates.
Even though the centre-back gave
away the penalty for Palmeiras' equaliser
for a hand ball in the final, he was awarded
the Golden Ball award to crown him
the best player at the tournament.
