The quarter-finals of the Champions League sees Atlético Madrid face off against Chelsea - two teams stacked with talent, and which should make for a great game of football.
FIFA 21 players have been able to earn special Showdown items during the season which see two players, on opposite teams, put up against each other. Players can earn these boosted cards by completing Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and based on the result on the night they could be boosted further.
The Atlético-Chelsea tie is the latest one to get the Showdown promo with players able to pick up a Thomas Lemar or Antonio Rüdiger - both 86 OVR rated with the potential to go up to 88 depending on who wins.
Here is how you can complete Rüdiger's Showdown SBCs. You can also check out our Lemar guide if you are in the market for a tricky winger.

Antonio Rüdiger Showdown stats

This 86 rated version of Rüdiger isn't a bad card per se, but it is hardly meta and pales in comparison to Lemar's in terms of boosted stats.
That doesn't mean its garbage tier though and with 84 Sprint Speed, up 8 from his base, and top tier Defending and Physical stats he could definitely find a place in many FUT teams.
He does have major drawbacks though, 69 Acceleration, 59 Balance and some poor Passing stats are causes for concerns.
Remember though he can be boosted further, if Chelsea win on Wednesday he will go up to 88 OVR and a draw will see him go to 87.
FIFA 21 players have three days, until Wednesday 17th March to complete the SBC - so if you do want Rüdiger in your FUT team don't wait around.
