Watch Antonio Rudiger bring back iconic Chelsea chair celebration in wild scenes after Real Madrid win vs Bayern Munich

Bayern looked on course to reach next month’s Wembley final against fellow Germans Borussia Dortmund thanks to Alphonso Davies’ outrageous strike.

But with just minutes left, sub striker Joselu levelled for Real before poaching a winner moments later.

The result means Real are on the cusp of landing a record-extending 15th European title.

And Rudiger was so overjoyed at full-time that he restored his iconic Chelsea chair celebration.

The defender famously waved a chair around when Chelsea lifted the Club World Cup against Palmeiras in 2022.

Kai Havertz netted a late penalty in extra time to seal a 2-1 win, sending Rudiger into the crowd before emerging with a fold-up chair.

The German briefly waved it in the air before launching it back into the stands.

And last night saw Rudiger take his chair antics to a new level.

He grabbed one from the stands before running onto the Bernabeu field and waving it around.

However, this time Rudiger did it in tribute to injured Real teammate David Alaba, who himself has utilised it as a celebration in the past.

Rudiger waved the chair towards fans before Alaba took over duties.

Rudiger said: “The chair celebration was for David Alaba.

“He is an important piece of the team and the chair had to be brought up so the fans could cheer him up.”

Fans were certainly delighted with Rudiger’s efforts.

One said: “How great is Rudiger.”

Another declared: “He understood Real from minute one. What a character.”
