Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says he could never take credit for their Champions League triumph.
Thomas Tuchel replaced Lampard and not only led them to a top four finish but guided the club to their second Champions League crown after beating Manchester City 1-0 in Porto thanks to Kai Havertz's goal.
"When you work towards something, you want to be there and be the man. I am never going to try and lay claim on that," Lampard said.
"I was part of the early foundation potentially, but Thomas did a fantastic job getting them there. I will say when I watched it, first I am a Chelsea person.
"The Chelsea fans are happy and the club deserves that, but secondly to see Mason and Reece perform at that level and people like [Edouard] Mendy, [Ben] Chilwell and Thiago [Silva] who came in in my time there makes me pretty proud.
"But it was a great achievement by them and they were very well managed."
