After the match, Chelsea's coach Enzo Maresca expressed his happiness and relief. He acknowledged that the team had a slow start, which he attributed to the emotional high from their previous match against Nottingham Forest. Maresca had emphasized to his players that they needed to win the final to prove their importance as a team. However, he also noted that the team was tired, having played on Sunday for a major goal, while their opponents had a 48-hour rest advantage.

Maresca praised his team's improved performance in the second half, saying they played much better. He also mentioned that they would take a short break to enjoy their victory before returning to work soon.

Regarding Jadon Sancho's future, Maresca stated that the team would discuss his contract with the club. He acknowledged Sancho's significant contributions to the team, both in their successes and setbacks. Maresca also explained that he had started skipper Reece James on the bench to protect him, likely due to fatigue or injury concerns.
