Goalscorer Drogba was in jubliant mood as the champagne corks popped in the Chelsea dressing room at Wembley - but he wasn't forgetting the men who put him there.
The Ivory Coast international was quick to praise inspirational boss Mourinho, who has always backed him, and Russian billionaire owner Abramovich, who bought him.
He said: "I'm just happy to score the first goal in the new stadium.
"It's another trophy and this is what Jose has shown in his three years with us. Special congratulations to him and Roman.
"I felt so many emotions when I scored that goal, I don't know what to say.
"I am just happy. I don't think I realise what we have achieved today, maybe it will sink in over the years," he added.
"I was a great game in a fantastic stadium and I'm very happy because we have won it. It's a final I always wanted to win."
