Chelsea are champions of Europe once more after their under-19s won the UEFA Youth League final in Switzerland on Monday.
A 3-2 win over Shakhtar Donetsk earned the Blues, the Champions League winners in 2012 and Europa League winners a year later, victory in the age-group tournament.
Captain Izzy Brown - on the bench for the Premier League leaders' 1-0 win at QPR at Loftus Road on Sunday - scored twice and Dominic Solanke added a third.
Shakhtar's second came in stoppage-time, but they could not find an equaliser as Chelsea held on.
