Antonio Rudiger says "racism has won" after he was booed by a section of Tottenham supporters during Chelsea's 2-1 victory over their London rivals at the weekend.
The Chelsea defender alleged he had been racially abused during the reverse fixture between the two clubs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December, which resulted in the Premier League's anti-discrimination protocol being used for the first time.
Tottenham and the Metropolitan Police both launched investigations but the matter was not taken any further as no evidence was found to support Rudiger's claims.
Rudiger feels let down after speaking out about the alleged discriminatory abuse he suffered and says society is losing the fight against racism.
"Racism has won," he told Sky in Germany. "The offenders can always come back to the stadium, which shows that these people have won.
"It doesn't have to be me, it can be anyone else. They never get punished and in the end, I am the scapegoat.
"I won't give up, I'll never stop raising my voice. I'll always raise my voice, but in relation to this, I am alone.
"It's a disaster. I became a father last Thursday and you start thinking society hasn't come far enough in fighting racism so my kids will probably suffer as well.
"If nothing changes, if young kids don't get good education and parenting, we will lose. We have to be this honest."

It's sad cos he was racially abused and instead of further investigation, they just shut down the investigation cos its Spurs. Had it been Chelsea, even MI6 would be investigating our club. English FA has its favourite clubs and pick and chooses what suits them. The offenders got away with it and can come back any time and abuse again. That's what Rudi was talking about and the boos from their fans is basically a way of them saying that they dont stand with him and instead stand with the fake verdict given hence why he says theyve won and its true, sadly theyve won...

Just because you're booed doesn't mean you're racially abused. This oversensitive lad doesn't even know what racist is. Pathetic.

Dear Rudiger, everything is not racism..That fans booed you because of the red you gave Son in the reverse picture, doesn't mean you have been racially abused. Even white players get booed sometimes depending on the circumstance. The more you complain over nothing, the harder it becomes to listen to similar complains.

Rüdiger is never alone. He has the complete support of Chelsea FC. I'm confident that our club will take the appropriate measures to tackle racism and support him in any way we possibly can. Wishing him good luck for the Bayern game. We need him to play his very best as that's a tough opponent, no doubt and he's up against one of the most lethal strikers this season.
