Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta says the ruthless approach to managers is key to the club's success.

Chelsea are now in the FA Cup and Champions League finals after the sacking of Frank Lampard and hiring of Thomas Tuchel.

"Since I came here in 2012, I felt the demand of winning trophies. You jump into a dressing room which had just been crowned champions of Europe and you see big personalities like Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic," said Azpilicueta.

"You learn from them every day. You ask yourself how they win so many trophies. Then you see why because in every training session they give their best, in every game they want to win.

"I came from Osasuna, where we were fighting against relegation. Away from home, we would win two or three games a season and if we got a draw, we were happy.

"It was a big step moving to Marseille where they demand titles. We won trophies but it was not the same, we were not asked to win the Champions League.

"When you come to Chelsea, you have to win every single game in every competition and that's a huge challenge. You do not accept draws away from home. It's not the way Chelsea works."
