Chelsea captain John Terry accepts that it was a relief finally winning the Premier League title after a gap of 5 years.
The Blues last won the title in 2009-10 under Carlo Ancelotti.
The 34-year-old defender led Chelsea to their fourth Premier League crown on Sunday.
Terry said: "At times, when you go close, you think 'was 2009-10 my last one?'. It's a long time to watch other teams do it.
"Man City came in and dominated for a couple of years as well. It's hard to take when you've won it and then don't win it for so long.
"It feels really good."
