The players were all dapper in suave grey, three-piece suits, white shirts and red club ties.

Mourinho believes this trophy is a reward for their hard work throughout the season which saw his team consistently criticised

“In a bad season where sometimes I felt that my team was the worst team in the world, where I felt that sometimes I was the worst manager in the world, we managed to win three trophies and we go to the Champions League by winning a trophy — not by finishing second, third or fourth,” Mourinho said.

“So I think the season was really good. A victory of pragmatism, of humble people who respect opponents and try to stop their qualities and exploit their weaknesses.

“A victory based on humble principles. Not poets, just humble people.”
