Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele admits the club is now part of him.

Coming onto five years with the Blues, Makelele told the club's website: "I think Chelsea now is my heart. I don't know why, it is like I live all the time this team. You never know in football what will happen. I am just enjoying this moment I have with this club.

"I think it is one of the best clubs in the world now at everything - football, training ground, stadium, fans, the image it has in the world. It is amazing and sometimes I am thinking I have been here for everything as it has happened. I have been inside the project and it has been good.

"Now we play another final. People think it is now normal for Chelsea. That is our job, to repeat, repeat, repeat. You need to be very professional to repeat all the time this situation."
