A legend of the game, Petr Cech hung up his boots last night. But the former Chelsea custodian showed what a class act he is with his final interview. Here are the best quotes which made fans of both clubs emotional.
“I think it’s a goodbye, but in football you never know,” he told BT Sport. “We will decide in a few days – the only target in my mind was to win this final.”
He added: “Maybe now it is the time for a new challenge.”
“I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of the way I played today because when you play your last career game in the final there is a lot of pressure and speculation,” Cech told BT Sport after the game.
“I had to perform and I have to say I have done everything I can, and I can look back with no regrets apart from the fact we worked so hard all year to finish with nothing. This group of players do not deserve it because of how much work has been done this season.”
“It is easy to say we finish empty-handed but I can assure everyone that the work we have done will mean this team comes back much stronger next year.”
“I kept saying I wanted to lift the trophy and then think about it. Until 30 June, I am an Arsenal player.”
