More from Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "You are never too old to celebrate, you don't have enough trophies not to celebrate. For me this is 24 but I am like a kid with the first one. Now I blow kisses to everyone that is happy because we are happy, but this is quick, there is no time for big celebrations, let's go home. I have the hat-trick of League Cups and it is nice to have it. Museum, history, but we have to go on and chase another one.

"Finals are not to play, finals are to play strategically well, for the players to feel comfortable on the pitch. Without Nemanja Matic we had to find again a certain balance, we did that and the team was really compact, they had control of the game really well."

On Manchester City's defeat away to Liverpool in the Premier League earlier today: "It is better for us that City loses the match but I told the players this morning we have enough with the final. Forget the Premier League and concentrate on the big final."
