Malo Gusto (Chelsea defender) : " It's a great source of pride. It was a clear objective. We achieved it, we're very happy for the club and for us as players. We know that a lot of people spoke badly about us and didn't respect us. We showed that we deserved to win this trophy. The keys in the first half? First of all, it was pressing. We knew they were a team that knew how to move, that knew how to keep the ball. So pressing was important. Then, it was about winning back the ball. We intended to kill them on their weaknesses, that's what we did and we're very happy. (...)

We weren't necessarily respected. People tend to say that we're young, that we're not used to playing this kind of match. The coach told us that it was an opportunity to show the world that we're one of the best clubs and that we can compete with this kind of team. That's what we were able to do. " (on DAZN)
