Dailymail : In front of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, the new kings of Europe paraded the Champions League trophy through London’s New King’s Road on Sunday.
Chelsea are the capital’s first European champions after beating Bayern Munich 4-3 in Saturday’s shootout in the competition’s 57th season.
Even Chelsea’s notoriously-reclusive owner, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, joined his expensively-assembled squad on an open-top bus to show off the trophy as fans crowded into the streets around Stamford Bridge.
Winning the Champions League has been Abramovich’s key objective since buying Chelsea in 2003 and starting to pump more than $1 billion – and rising – into the club.
Captain John Terry led a chant of “Champione, champione, ole, ole, ole”.
“We have been here a long time waiting to win this thing,” midfielder Frank Lampard roared to fans from the bus. “And it was the most amazing night in all of our careers. We are just so pleased to come back here and celebrate with all our fans.”
