​Leicester veteran Fuchs: Robben my toughest opponent

Leicester City full back Christian Fuchs says Arjen Robben is among the toughest players he has faced.

Fuchs has enjoyed some fantastic duels with wingers in the Bundesliga and Premier League during an illustrious career.

And he admits that some of the battles were won by the opponent, including Bayern Munich's Robben.

"Well my most difficult opponent was Arjen Robben," Fuchs said to Goal.

"He is horrible. He was the worst player to play against. The reason is everyone knows what he is doing but no one knows when he is doing it.

"The second he decides to get on his bike and cut inside, he is simply too quick over the first two or three yards and then you know what happens. He was definitely the most difficult to play against.

"The best opponent that I have faced in the Premier League so far was probably Eden Hazard. He was very good.

"This season it has been hard to pick a similar player because we have been dominant in many matches. However, this season the best player that I have faced is Riyad Mahrez."
