Chelsea FC moved into the final of the English League Cup after a 1-0 (1-0) win at last year's finalist Tottenham Hotspur.

The goal for the Blues was scored by former Stuttgart Antonio Rüdiger after a corner from Mason Mount with his back (18th).

The head of defense from second place in the table from England has been associated with a move to top European clubs for months.

Above all, the Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, is said to be convinced of Rüdiger's ability.

Most recently, the 28-year-old German international said that he no longer wanted to comment on rumors.

»When it comes to transfer rumors, it is well known that the media like to add a little more salt and pepper to make the headline a bit more explosive and bigger.

Accordingly, you won't hear from me until the day of the final decision, ”said Rüdiger.

The good relationship with coach Thomas Tuchel speaks in favor of Rüdiger staying at Chelsea.

He had fully relied on Rüdiger, who previously hardly played a role under coach Frank Lampard.

On February 27, Chelsea will face Liverpool FC or Arsenal FC in the final.

On Thursday (8.45 p.m. / DAZN), team manager Jürgen Klopp will play the first leg against Arsenal with Liverpool.

The game was originally scheduled for January 6, but the encounter was postponed due to numerous corona cases at the Reds.

The decisive second leg will take place on January 20th.
