Antonio Rudiger walked up to where Chelsea supporters were seated and apologized for the dismal outing against Manchester City.
The Blues were taught a footballing lesson by the English champions who moved back to the top of the Premier League with a superior goal difference.
Pep Guardiola's side scored four first half goals inside 25 minutes and scored two goals in the second half to embarrass Maurizio Sarri's men 6-0.

After the blast of the final whistle, Chelsea players went over to salute their traveling supporters.
However, Rudiger became a subject of verbal abuse as he took off his jersey and handed it over to a young Chelsea fan.
While the German defender gave his shirt out, another supporter attempted to rebuke him and appeared to swear at the 25-year-old.
Stewards at the Etihad were nervous something could happen with some of them holding out their arms to hold back the defender.

But Rudiger stood his ground and reportedly declaring: “I’ve come over to say sorry - stand in front of me if you‘ve something to say.”
He then spent over a minute having a discussion with other supporters.
In a post-match interview, Sarri insisted his job at Stamford Bridge is seriously under threat.
"I think that’s right. I am in charge of the team so it’s right.
"I don’t know, not at the moment, but I think that will happen because it’s normal.
"Something we need to do, we have to do. I don’t know, you’ll have to ask the club. I have no idea about this at the moment."
