    Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano: "We lost two finals playing really well, and it's a shame.

    "Tonight I honestly didn't imagine it could finish like this. We played well, had chances, immediately equalised after a penalty that could have finished us. We reacted, we had a great chance with Mandragora. Then with a ball contested in the middle, we did not make the right movement in defence, and it was all over.

    "The lads were destroyed."

    More from West Ham's Sporting Director Mark Noble, speaking to BT Sport after the game: "I'm lost for words, since 11 I've been at the club.

    "It is just amazing to see the smile on their faces we have been through such pain. I am just lost for words.

    "As I said before the game its not just the players or staff that travel it is a whole club it means so much. It is so special, you cannot explain the love and the passion the people have for this football club.

    "I look up and see so many people I know, I'm extremely lucky to grow up and play for the team I love. It is so special.

    "I truly think we deserve this."

    And a final word from Declan Rice, about his future: "At the moment there's a lot of speculation going on about my future. There is interest from other clubs but ultimately I still have two years left at West Ham. I love this club, I love playing for this club. There hasn't been nothing yet. My focus is playing for West Ham at the moment. I'm captain of this club and I can't speak highly enough of this place. Let's just see what happens. Let's wait and see. Who knows."

    West Ham United

    More from Declan Rice, on comparisons to Bobby Moore: "To be even in that conversation is crazy. I've given my heart playing for this club over the last six years. I'd give anything to help this club win. We've not had it easy. We've been facing relegation. To win this now, to be in that category potentially. I don't want to say too much. I'll get too excited."

    On David Moyes: "I want to say a big mention as well to the manager. There have been times this year when he's been tested, there have been times this year when a lot of the fanbase wanted him out because of results. If you look at his time at this club, he's come in and saved us twice and then made Europe two years in a row. He's up there with the club's best managers of all time.

    "Without a doubt the best day in my career. It's not going to hit me to be honest with you. I'm just going to try and take this moment in."

    West Ham legend and current sporting director Mark Noble, speaking to BT Sport about whether they could follow this up by winning the Europa League next season: "Roma nearly did it! There's no reason why we can't. I am so pleased for Dec (Declan Rice), he deserves this, he is a special, special player."

    On the party tonight: "We have got Fornals' wedding on Friday, there won't be a lot of sleep over the next two days but who cares, there's not many times you win a European trophy."

    It is almost midnight in Prague but there's still thousands inside the stadium. There's going to be a fair number of lost voices in the morning as they haven't stopped chanting since Jarrod Bowen's winner.

    West Ham captain Declan Rice to BT Sport: "Tonight, the lads have been so on it. We had a real belief. I'm not just happy for us the manager, the fans, but everyone that does their all to help us perform. I'm not just happy for me, I'm happy for them. I'm so, so happy."

    On Jarrod Bowen's winner: "When he ran through on goal I said it out loud to myself 'this is your time'. As soon as you see it hit the back of the net you don't know what to do. I'm still in shock now. It's incredible.

    "We got here two hours before and it was full. The fans, look at them. This is what it means to us and to me. I love this club, they've made me one of their own. I cannot describe what I feel when I talk about West Ham fans. I'm just so, so happy."

    West Ham United

    West Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to BT Sport: "This is fantastic. I have had a long career in football and you don't get many moments like this.

    "These sorts of moments as managers don't come around often. This is a great moment for us.

    "It is a brilliant club in the East End of London that does wonderful work in the community. It is a great family club. It is getting better and stronger. This is another step on the road of continued progress.

    "We have gone unbeaten in Europe, which is incredible. We only lost last year in a semi-final, two incredible years and we get another one now."

    Best moment of career? "I would have to say so. The moments you get to celebrate with your family and win in the last minute of the game, it doesn't happen often. It can go against you but tonight is a brilliant feeling.

    "If somebody had said three years ago when I took the job that you'd avoid relegation and finish in Europe and I've said you were mad.

    "This competition has been great for us, the players have been remarkable."

    This team reflects him [David Moyes] , resilience and finding a way to win, I wanted West Ham to play a little more football today, but a David Moyes team will find a way to win and that's what they did.

    I am so pleased for David Moyes.

    He is a thoroughly decent bloke and an excellent football manager.

    It would be unfair for his entire career to boil down to nine miserable months at Manchester United.

    Finally he has won a trophy.

    He said he wasn't bothered about such things yesterday but now he is a West Ham legend.

    As a Spurs fan, I’m really happy for David Moyes but especially Declan Rice, who is a quality human being as well as a great footballer.

    As a Manchester United fan, I'm delighted for our former manager David Moyes. He deserves this.

    All that is left for the trophy lift. Declan Rice takes his position before holding it up as tickertape, cheers and the sound of Queen's 'We are the Champions' fills the air.

    Rice follows in the illustrious footsteps of Billy Bonds and Bobby Moore by lifting a trophy for West Ham.

    Historic.

    Moyes has had ups and downs in his career, he had a very difficult time at Manchester United. It is good to see all these years later him getting this moment.
