Chapter 1: What led Chelsea to become Premier League champions this season?
Chelsea are the champions.
Antonio Conte has stormed into the Premier League and put the fire back into last season's flops. From 10th, they have bounced back to regain the title. And Michy Batshuayi is their unlikely hero.
here at the Hawthorns Chelsea for the fifth time in 25 seasons in the Premier League for the fifth time in the 14 years since they became Romans Empire for the sixth time in their history and this season they've blown away some very strong competition leaving the best of North London Manchester and Merseyside in their wake Gary Neville
Fully deserved, he's been reliable for most of this season. A brilliant performance, I have to say, consistency, you've known the strongest XI from that September-October period onwards, and they've stayed together. Look at him, he's been a live wire on the touchline, and now he has a great moment, a great, great moment, a great, great goalkeeper to hug as well.
Well, he set the standards.
He upped the work ethic even more for the players and said, you'll either do it or you won't play for me. And they have certainly played for him.

Chapter 2: How did Antonio Conte revive Chelsea's performance this year?
They'll get bonuses for this. But what you cannot buy is the glow and the glory of finishing top of the most competitive league in the world.
Champions, Chelsea. well the limelight has been a lot on the manager and you can understand why always active always thinking always demanding some have done it before for the likes of moses and alonso and david luis pedro for the first time and let's hear from a man who won the first premier league for chelsea with his away goals frank lampard frank Hi, Martin.
Yes, well, fantastic scenes here. I mean, a scrappy game, but sometimes these sort of performances come from scrappy games. There was that little feeling as the game went on that Chelsea, something might just fall for Chelsea, and it's ironic it falls for a man who hasn't had much to do this year. But great scenes.
Chapter 3: What role did Michy Batshuayi play in Chelsea's title win?
By far the strongest team this year. The consistency, the desire, the quality in the team. They deserve it, and they deserve that moment with their own fans.
Michy Batshuayi in the midst of all that. It's been such a frustrating season for him. But isn't that the joy of football? If you stick at it, your moment will come. And what a moment to score the goal to bring the title back to Chelsea.
How they fell away last season is another story to be told on another day. But he knows how they bounce back. He's brought them back. He thrives on big challenges, and this was certainly one, and they didn't, Gary, they didn't start very well, did they?
No, they absolutely didn't. You wondered earlier in the season, he looked under pressure, and then that change came, that tactical switch, and then they've been ever-present since, reliable, consistent, getting the best out of Costa and Hazard, getting David Luiz into a reliable state. They've been absolutely brilliant and deserve this great moment.
Well, the 2,500 or so Chelsea fans who are fortunate to be here... ..witnessing the togetherness in the camp.
and there is nothing like you can win a cup and that's a great day but to do it week in week out to be top of the league at the league table never lies let's get some reaction from down on the pitch cess gary you've done it congratulations you're premier league champions can you put the feeling into words no i think these are times in football we spoke about before there's opportunities you get and you want to grasp with both hands i think this is one of them um
You have to cherish these moments.

Chapter 4: How did Frank Lampard react to Chelsea's championship victory?
We've worked so hard all season. We've worked so hard all season to be where we are. Consistently, I think we've been the best team in the league. I think we deserve it. We've worked hard. Like I said, you have to take moments like this, cherish them, because we work hard. There's no better feeling in football, I'm telling you. There's no better feeling than this in football.
Gary, what is it about this group of players? Here comes the most successful skipper in Premier League history. John, it's been a different year for you, but congratulations, your fifth Premier League winner's medal.
Yeah, it's been fantastic for me, but these boys have been on the field doing it week in, week out. Gaz and everyone's been brilliant, so delighted, and it's been a delight for me to sit there and watch and see it from a different perspective. I'm delighted for the boys and everyone at the football club. You say it's been a delight for you to sit there and watch it.
What do you think is special about this group? The togetherness has shown from day one, even when we lost games early on. You know, when we lost to Arsenal away, when we lost to Liverpool on. The togetherness to come back and regroup and go on that winning streak that we went on was incredible and I think fundamental in that season.
Chapter 5: What were the key moments in Chelsea's journey to the title?
We spoke yesterday. Is that what spurred you on when people wrote you off?
Yeah, of course. Of course, always does. Like I said to you yesterday, people write you off. You know, the team last season, you know, individually started the season, maybe. You know, this is the only way to shut people up, prove people wrong. You know, at times in football, that's all you can do as a player. You go out, you deliver.
You let everybody else do the talking, let everybody else make excuses for you and go out and produce. And we're champions today. We've won a league. It's another one in the cabinet. This man's got plenty in his cabinet. And look, I'm delighted. This is a special group of players to show the character we've shown this season after last year. It's tremendous.
And like Seth said, every single one of us are together in our dressing room. You see Mitchell come on here and we scored the winner. Ultimately, he's won us a league today with that goal. So, fantastic.
I think there's a plan for you to go together.
How much are you both looking forward to getting your hands on that trophy? Yeah, naturally, we will lift it together. Of course, me and Lamp's done that for many years here. Didier, when he come back as well, and listen, Gaz has been on the field week in, week out, so he should be allowing me to go with him because he's been different class.
Fantastic, guys. Enjoy the evening. Thank you. Yeah, two captains, I think it's absolutely sure they will enjoy the evening, as will the entire Chelsea squad and the vast numbers of Chelsea fans who have trekked here up the M5.

Chapter 6: How did the players feel about their hard work throughout the season?
And it looks like they plan to stay for most of the evening after last season's disappointment. Their joy is absolutely unabated at the moment. And Frank, in some ways, it's typical of the team effort that it's been this season. that a fella who's sat on his backside on a substitute bench all season long should come along and get the glory in the last 10 minutes. It is, it is.
You need a squad to win leagues. As I said before, I think Chelsea have been the most consistent and best in the league. And it's an epitome of the way that Conte's worked them. He's kept everyone included. You can see the spirit now that they're showing over there, celebrating together. And I'm really pleased for the lad, because it's not easy coming to a big club and being on the bench all year.
And sometimes you do the right things, you train right, you keep your head down, you get your special moment, and that's a special moment for him today. We all talk, Jamie, about the moment when he changed and went three at the back. But surely there's got to be more involved in this championship win than just changing the system. It has a big part to play.
But obviously the manager's enthusiasm and desire and his willingness to get players playing for him, I think that's been the difference. And as Frank says, it's been a collective... all throughout the season. Batshuayi comes on, makes that difference, and he's now made himself a hero there. But Willian came on, and when he took off Pedro and Hazard, I thought, that's a strange decision.
But everything that he seems to do seems to turn to gold. I mean, he's got that magic touch. Let's go back to Jeff Trees for more reaction. Thibaut and Michy, the hero of the hour. You have made history. You've scored the goal that won Chelsea the Premier League title. What does that mean?
You have the man, you have set the goal for being a champion. How does it feel?
He's good, but to take the trophy today is very good.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Chelsea's success for next season?
When you didn't get the goal, when you needed the breakthrough, as soon as you changed the two at the top, do you think we will get the goal?
He said, we didn't set the goal. After, when we got back in, we went with two in front, we thought it would change.
No, maybe yes, but it's good today. The first time they take the trophy is very good. Every people is happy. It's the best day for Chelsea today.
Thibaut, does Michy represent what Chelsea is all about? Everybody has a part to play.
Yeah, he does, I think. That guy through the season, because we didn't have Champions League football here in football, who had less minutes, he didn't play a lot of minutes. But, you know, he came in, he scored a decisive goal, and that's what it's all about, you know, score when you have to score. And even if you have not much minutes in a season, he did it, so I'm very happy for him.
And just how different is the feeling tonight from the end of last season when you had such a poor year to turn around and come straight back and win the Premier League title?
Yeah, it was very good, you know. I'm very happy about that. Last year was very bad and to bounce back straight away to win the league is fantastic.
And for you, the best moment in your footballing life? Go on, enjoy the celebrations. Just starting to rain a little here at the moment, but it cannot rain on Chelsea's parade.

Chapter 8: How will Chelsea's title win impact their approach in Europe?
Look at that. Fantastic scenes. And I tell you what, the Chelsea supporters who've made the trip here are absolutely deafening at the moment. Kehler has a swipe at it. Aspilicueta. And that's right.
Confirmation, Chelsea are the champions.
Well, there have been precious few ups and downs in this season for Antonio Conte and Chelsea. They are the champions after their win here at West Brom this evening. And I'm delighted to say we have the manager of the champions with us, Antonio Conte. Antonio, congratulations. How good does that feel in your first season in the Premier League?
Yeah, thank you, thank you. But I think that this achievement is a great achievement for the players, for my players. And I have to tell thanks for their commitment, for their work during the season. They showed me great attitude, great passion, great will, decided to try to do something great in this season. And now, after this win, I think that we must be happy.
We must be pleased for all the season.
Congratulations. I wanted to ask you, we've seen that you were not scared to drop sometimes some players and today, for example, to take Eden Hazard and Pedro out for whatever situation. Because I know for you the most important thing is the system and the tactic. You believe that's what's going to win you the game.
Yeah, I think that when you can count on these players, I think also during the game you can allow to also do this change. In this moment of the game, I think that Hazard was a bit tired and also Pedro. And I wanted to give more energy with Michy and Willian. Yeah, I think that Michy paid me a lot with this change. But it's great, it's great. I repeat, for me, this is my first season.
It wasn't easy for me to arrive in England and to try different habits, different language, and also a lot of players after a bad season. I think that this win is for the players, for the players because they deserve this with great attitude, great commitment in all the season.
Congratulations, Antonio. After six games, you had 10 points and then you tried, then you changed the system. How much, how big a decision was that for you or is that something you always planned before you came to Chelsea to play three at the back?
