"I'm really proud of it," he told the club's website.

"We have a come long way to be here. It's a moment to be proud and enjoy it because we know how difficult it is to win this trophy. 2012 hurt a lot and we took more than nine years to be back. We missed out in 2012 and we didn't want to miss the cup again.

"This time the medal is gold, and the other one is silver. I made sure I wasn't coming back with the same colour of medal. It was a difficult game. World champions, it's not easy. We showed the team we are.

"When I arrived in 2012 I couldn't imagine the journey I would go on.

"I'm really proud to be the Chelsea captain leading the club on and off the pitch. This title feels very good because it's the first time in our history. The club deserves it, the owner deserves it, and I'm proud we achieved it."
