Chelsea captain John Terry has paid tribute to the club's fringe players this season as they chase down the Double.

"It is a great thing for English football with two clubs in the biggest competition in the world - it is a great achievement," said Terry.

"We have got to beat a very good side but once you get there you don't care who you play. We've shown character all year even when our bigger players have been out, the squad players have come in and done well.

"They have kept us in these competitions and in touching distance of everybody else in the league. That's a credit to the football club, that's the way we work. We never let anything get us down and we keep fighting right to the end and we've done that.

"We have a chance in the Premier League and we are in the Champions League final. This is something we have wanted for four or five years and I am very proud of my players."
