They may have a way to go to be mentioned in the same breath as his stand-outs - Brazil's 1970 World Cup winners, Johan Cruyff's Dutch masters, the AC Milan team he helped to glorious success in the late 1980s and early 90s - but there is no question this is a Chelsea team people want to watch.

"The most important thing is to win but I think we've found the right way to win playing good football, showing good fair play and have given joy to the fans who saw our team," he told reporters on Sunday in the wake of another goal-rush.

"I've found a fantastic team here. They've worked very hard every day and maintained a good atmosphere. We won the title because we played and worked as a team."
"It was difficult because we had fantastic opponents and I always said it would come down to the last game," he said.
"But our victory at home (against United) and above all in Manchester was the key for this title. That improved our confidence and sent them a little bit down."
