Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo was happy to deflect praise to his players after last night's Champions League final triumph.

Di Matteo refused to discuss his future after Chelsea were handed the trophy.

He said on ITV1: "I'm enjoying this moment and I'd just like to go out and celebrate with the players.

"I won't talk about it now. I just want to enjoy the moment."

The Italian hailed his team's spirit, saying: "We have a group of players that have a big heart, passion, motivation and desire.

"That was the only way to be able to achieve this trophy.

"It's been an immense effort by the whole group - staff, players - and we are very happy tonight."

Asked whether he had doubts when Bayern took a late lead, Di Matteo said: "Bayern is a good team and when they scored there was not much time left.

"Games like this need passion and players who rise to the occasion.

"We've got a lot of players like that, who have done it before and did it against today."
