Ancelotti: This title was the most difficult I’ve ever won

Carlo Ancelotti spoke in the press room at the Stade de France after clinching the Decimocuarta against Liverpool.

"This title was the most difficult I’ve ever won. The side were pushed on to fight by the fact nobody believed we could win it. We created a good atmosphere. I think we’ve deserved to win this competition. We’ve suffered, but we have never given up. We got through today’s game well. The key was to not give their front three any space in behind. We won, deservedly, against a great side who haven’t lost many games this season."

"I cannot believe it. It was a difficult game, we suffered in the first half but in the end with all the games we played I think we deserved to win this competition. It's a fantastic club and squad with a lot of quality and strong mental character."
