The young blues from London won the FA Youth Cup for the fourth successive season running with a 5-1 humiliation of Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, completing a 6-2 aggregate victory in a repeat of 2015/16 final.

The Chelsea manager Conte watched the match alongside Chelsea Russian billionaire owner roman Abramovich, while club long serving captain John Terry and all time leading goal-scorer Frank Lampard who retired a couple of season ago were in attendance.

A marvelous solo goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi was added to by menacing wing back Sterling after a one-two with Ike Ugbo, with substitute Cole Dasilva putting a final nail to city’s coffin.

The youth team is coached by former youth graduate Jody Morris. Conte delivered a speech to the victorious players after the match in the dressing room and he is confident they have bright futures.

We watched the game together. its always good to see Mr Abrahamovich and to stay together, also to enjoy the game and to see our team winning for the fourth time in a row,” said Conte, who boasts of academy products Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathanial Chalobah, Nathan Ake and Ola Aina in his first team set up.

“its very important for Chelsea, the work in the academy. the academy is working very well. i think in this team, yes, i saw four or five players with good prospects for the future.

John Terry and Frank Lampard are were giving support to the lads.

But you know that it’s not easy to become a Chelsea player and more importantly to player in the first team. The gap is not simple, not only for chelsea but in all teams.
