Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta feels they can launch a new era of success.
The Blues captain led his team to glory in Portugal on Saturday night as Kai Havertz's goal earned the club their second Champions League title.
Azpilicueta said: "A few months ago, lots of people doubted the quality of the team and we created a special bond and we did it."
The Spaniard is already eyeing the next trophy with Chelsea, saying: 'When you play for a club like Chelsea, you always think in the future.
"That's done, we are very happy, we will celebrate, we are champions of Europe again after nine years, second time in our history. But football is like this, the ones who go to the Euros get a new challenge ahead of us, we will come back in the Premier League, we didn't finish where we wanted to finish and we want to fight for everything.
"At Chelsea, I always learned that we go for every single game, fight for every single trophy and I'm pleased that I could get my hands on the trophy that I missed before.
"But that's gone, we are part of the history of Chelsea and then we will go for the next challenge.
"I was proud to lead the team out but, as I said before the game, I wanted to be prouder.
"Of course to lift the trophy, to lead the team, this club, it's amazing after nine years to get this chance and thank you to my whole team mates, for the staff, to make this moment possible is incredible.
"Emotions coming through, was very emotional and of course I'm very happy."
