Heroes return: Tens of thousands of fans line the streets to welcome home Chelsea's Euro stars

Making a song and a dance: Chelsea became the first London club to win the Champions League

'It meant so much to everyone in this club, especially the boys that have been here a long time. You could see it in everyone's eyes, from the end of the game last night until now."

Asked about the future of caretaker manager Di Matteo, who is far from guaranteed the job on a permanent basis, Terry added: 'It's a club decision, but his CV looks incredible. He deserves it as much as anyone does because he took over at a difficult time for us and he's guided us and made us get to where we've got.

'It's up to the club to speak to him about but he's been brilliant.'

As the bus reached Parson's Green, Terry and Frank Lampard linked arms and bounced as the crowd sang.

Some of the players were in their blue Chelsea kits, others in black tracksuits. Petr Cech even had his scrum-cap up on the top deck.
