Chelsea have defied the odds and become Champions League winners for the first time in their history.

Roberto Di Matteo was incredibly emotional at the end of the game and it remains to be seen as to whether the Italian caretaker has done enough to secure the manager’s job permanently, in the eyes of Roman Abramovich. John Terry has called upon him to be appointed, but Di Matteo will just have to play the waiting game.
