Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta praised matchwinner Kai Havertez after their Champions League triumph against Manchester City.

Havertz scored the only goal of the game in Porto.

Azpilicueta hailed a "special, special day" and told BT Sport: "[Kai Havertz] was so calm. Not only that. He runs like crazy. That's why he deserves this.

"I came here in 2012 after that Champions League win. I wanted to repeat that Champions League success. It is amazing. My family are here. It is a special, special day."

Havertz has endured a difficult time at Stamford Bridge since joining in the summer from Bayer Leverkusen, struggling with his form as well as his fitness after contracting Covid-19.

"I've waited 15 years for this moment and now it's here," said the match winner.
