Terry admits it hurt to see the Gunners lift the Community Shield after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's Wembley winner.

But the Blues skipper wants his team-mates to use that pain as motivation as they turn their attention to defending their title.

Terry said: "I think losing is just horrible. There was a trophy on the line.

"It hurt when you saw them walk up the stairs to lift it. It means a lot because you work all season to be here.

"They earned the right to be here by winning the FA Cup, so did we by winning the League.

"It hurts. When you see them walk up, no matter if it's a friendly or a Community Shield, it's a trophy at the end of the day. It's horrible, it's not nice.

"At the same time it could be a blessing in disguise for us, a wake-up call.

"We have experience in the squad, we have the character. It's going to be even tougher this year. We go again and prepare ourselves for Swansea.

"It's horrible losing, whether it's against my kids or anyone. That's the mentality I was brought up in, that's the same as a manager on a daily basis.

"That's what he wants and demands from his players as well. It was a different atmosphere in the dressing room afterwards.

"We haven't lost many at Wembley. With that in mind, it's maybe the boost we needed and we go again for the season."

Terry also praised Petr Cech's performance - but insisted it's time Chelsea got over his summer switch across London.

He said: "It was typical from Pete - great as always. I think we have to get over the fact he's left now. He's moved on to a very good side. We have enough in our squad to concentrate on ourselves."
