This will tie these players and members of staff together for life. This is what they will be talking about in WhatsApp groups together for years and years to come.

I have it now and these guys have joined that club.

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel speaking to BT Sport: "To share it with everybody is incredible. We made it. Wow. I don't know what to feel.

"I was so grateful to arrive a second time [in the final]. I felt different. We were somehow... You could feel it getting closer.

"The [players] were determined to win this. We wanted to be a stone in their shoe. We encouraged everybody to step up and step out, to be more brave and create dangerous counter-attacks.

"It was a tough physical game. We had to help each other out."

Former Chelsea player Joe Cole, speaking to BT Sport: "I have been in Aguero's shoes. You are at a club you love, you go all the way and for some reason you come up against a team that is better than you. It is brutal."

This moment will be devastating for Sergio Aguero and everyone involved in it from Manchester City.

This club would not have been here without Sergio Aguero. He played in their first game in the Champions League and played in their first final.

Champions of Europe.

Chelsea's Ben Chilwell: "We fought so hard today. We knew it would be a tough game. The second half... we fought for our lives to get to this moment, to have this feeling. This is what I came to Chelsea for. It's a dream come true.

"The key was to get tight and be aggressive. I was getting tired as the game went on but when the Champions League is up for grabs, you don't really tire.

"Everyone defended for their lives. We've won the Champions League so I wouldn't even care how we played!"

To do what he has done coming halfway through the season is nothing short of a magician.

They’ve had to come together as a squad, a lot of doubt was put on them as a team and as individuals but now they have marched on.

He has come into this country and played Pep Guardiola's side three times this season and won all three.

A photographer comes across to capture it. Thomas Tuchel has to tell one of his daughters to turn around as she's not paying attention!

This will hurt but they have to learn from it and take it on the chin. It is a slow crawl for them. Getting through the knockouts and now to a final.

They will be distraught. They just didn't play well.

Pep Guardiola marches straight down the tunnel after seeing the trophy lift.

He had waited behind to pay his respects. Manchester City won't hang around now though.

Fireworks. Theme tune. Blue confetti. A huge roar from the crowd. Queen "we are the champions" being played.

Party.

Cesar Azpilicueta lifts the trophy up.

City have top, top players but they will have massive regrets.

They will be questioning themselves, could they have done more?

Thomas Tuchel gets his medal first before all the Chelsea players follow. Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger and Edouard Mendy all stop to kiss the trophy on their way past.

The rest of the team follow suit.

Thomas Tuchel's wife and children have been allowed to run onto the field to give him a hug.

Former Chelsea player Joe Cole, speaking to BT Sport: "I don’t think there is a more important player for his team in world football than N'Golo Kante. He drove this team."

Phil Foden takes his medal straight off Aleksander Ceferin before it's placed around his neck.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is still distraught. He takes his off immediately with tears in his eyes.

Former Chelsea player Joe Cole, speaking to BT Sport: "To sit where we are sat among the fans, every man from Mendy to the final man in the squad is a hero.

"That was an unbelievable performance. All these boys are heroes to me now."
