Here come the Chelsea players to receive the trophy. First a slightly sad bunch of five players who didn't play enough to get a medal. Nathan Ake and Kenedy among those five.
Now here comes Antonio Conte to rapturous applause and chants from the fans and now here are the remainder of the Chelsea team. John Terry and Gary Cahill are the last two out.
