Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists their FA Cup final defeat shouldn't take the shine off a successful season.

Arsenal denied Conte the Double at his first attempt in England.

But the Italian insisted: "Now the most important thing is to give a correct evaluation of our season because for me it was incredible. Every single player performed at 120 or 130 per cent in every game. We didn't have many injuries.

"It's very important to understand this. Our season was incredible because every player worked very hard and next season for sure we must pay great attention to understand we have to improve in terms of numbers and quality. That's very important and we must be very cold when we analyse the situation and understand this season we did something great.

"This season has been a great one for us, to win the league with 30 victories, and reach the final of the FA Cup is incredible. My players must keep in their mind our fantastic season and also this final, because you have to reach this point to play the final. We must be proud."
