Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta admits their FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool is hard to take.

Chelsea lost on penalties in a repeat of their Carabao Cup final defeat to the Reds.

Azpilicueta said, "It is not simple. Wished the result was different, we are disappointed.

"In the penalty shoot-out we tried to do everything possible to win, but nothing happened. Such is football.

"It is difficult to accept this, and the penalty problem needs to be solved somehow. It is not the first time that we are not the best team in this component. It hurts us."
