Rodgers claims, “Overall we were the better team, super-aggressive, pressed well, we were always a threat with the ball. Chelsea are an amazing team, that’s why they’re in a Champions League final but I thought we deserved it.”

Leicester ends the 52 years final woes and converted the history finals defeat disappointment to a joyful celebration. To the world football surprise, Rodgers admitted he didn’t realize the club had never won the FA until taking charge in 2019.

“[I’m] so proud, the board players staff, supporters, an amazing day for the city. So proud for everyone,” he said.

“The success of this team and club is getting to positions like this and competing, the so-called bigger clubs are expected to win. But our success is competing and if we can perform like today we can go and win. What a day for everyone involved with Leicester,” Rodgers concluded.
