In case you missed it, Chelsea won this little thing called the Champions League on Saturday.
A first-half strike from Kai Havertz was the exclamation mark on what was an absolute tactical masterclass from Thomas Tuchel and his players, who put Manchester City to the sword for the third time in just over a month.

It means Chelsea are now officially the best team in Europe (that's how it works, trust me), and as you can imagine, the celebrations ended up going a little wild.
Things were always going to escalate when Tuchel waltzed into the changing room with a champagne machine gun and started flinging his shoes around... see for yourself.

Tuchel made sure that everyone in his squad got their hands on the famous Champions League trophy, which made for some memorable photo ops.
Emotions flooded out on to Twitter, with players making sure to immortalise the moment, with the ultimate highlight being Mason Mount channelling his inner Didier Drogba.

While the excitement was wild in Porto, Chelsea made sure to pay treatment to those back home at Stamford Bridge with a memorable light show.
From flashing the Champions League trophy, to the club's crest and the famous Pride of London slogan, it really was something special.
And finally, if you're only going to remember one or two images of this momentous occasion, make them of this man.
This perfect, perfect little man.
Step forward, N'Golo Kante.
