Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel admits his team were lucky to finish fourth in the Premier League.
The Blues lost 2-1 to Aston Villa on the final day of the season.
But Liverpool defeating Crystal Palace 2-0 and Leicester City losing 4-2 against Tottenham meant Chelsea finished fourth in the league.
At one stage, Leicester were 2-1 up against Spurs, but they went on to concede thrice in 14 minutes to throw away fourth position.
"We are lucky that Tottenham finished the job for us," Tuchel said post-game.
"We came to win and to put any doubts to the side but it was not possible. I knew maybe three or four minutes before our game was over because the game at Leicester was over a bit earlier.
"We prepared for the match and the target was to win and I think that, again, we are absolutely able to win this match. It is normally so, so hard to create chances and to score against Aston Villa but we created a lot – so many deliveries. We are still a young team and we try to evolve, to learn from every game, but it has been our story throughout the season.
"We have needed many clean sheets to overcome this lack of composure and precision. Today we conceded two goals from set pieces and it was hard to come back but we had enough chances to turn it around."
