Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta was proud to captain the team to Europa League glory last season.

The Spaniard led the Blues to victory in the final against Arsenal.

He told chelseafc.com: "It was big emotions when I lifted the trophy. In that moment you just enjoy it because as a captain I lost the Community Shield and the Carabao Cup final so before the Europa League final I had this inside me.

"You want to win trophies and leading the team is something special. I was the first Spanish player to do that in a team abroad. I did not even know that before but they told me that afterwards and it was a big achievement of which I am really proud. I had strong feelings because to win a trophy being captain is something special and hopefully there are many more to come."
