Azpilicueta reveals pride as Chelsea guaranteed two Euro 2020 winners

Cesar Azpilicueta has revealed his pride over Chelsea's presence at Euro 2020.

Each of the four remaining teams in the tournament have at least two players who play for the Premier League giants.

That means at least two Chelsea players will end the season with a Champions League and European Championship winners medal.

Azpilicueta told The Guardian: "We're the only club that will have a double champion, that's true: all four teams left have Chelsea players [Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri with Italy, Denmark's Andreas Christensen, and Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell and Reece James for England].

"Around this time of year, people always start talking about it, but what matters is the team.

"Winning the Champions League was lovely, now we have a nice challenge with the Euros, another opportunity."
