Ghana defender Baba Rahman has picked Bayern Munich attacking pair Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery as the most skillful pair of players he has ever played against.

The 21-year-old lateral defender played against the pair during his spell at Augsburg in the Bundesliga.

Baba's first ever encounter with Robben was not one of his best performances at left-back as the Dutch master raided his area with the sheer application of his quick-feet and artistry.

Ribery's pace and cleverness on the flanks also gave the Ghana international a tough time and he has revealed the pair are the most skillful set of players he has played against.

He admitted to Chelsea FC official website it was hard playing against the two players anytime he encountered them.

"Probably [Franck] Ribery at Bayern Munich. Him and Arjen Robben were hard to play against," he said.

Rahman overly impressed in Chelsea's 4-0 triumph against Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday and is tipped for a starting role against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the Premier League.

Chelsea are bent on extending their winning streak to three games as they aim for a positive results at the White Hart Lane.

For Rahman his sights might be firmly fixed on improving his Premier League records to four appearances as he has managed just three (3) since the start of the season.
