Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo admits the club would have struggled to attract the likes of Eden Hazard and Oscar had they not conquered Europe last season.

"We are not really looking back. We are trying to live in the present and future.
"There's always new challenges every season.
"A club like Chelsea will always try to win trophies and be successful.
"It's not looking back at what you achieved - that's done and dusted."
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed a manager must win the Champions League more than once to be remembered as one of the great sides.
"I always have respect for what Sir Alex has to say," said Di Matteo.
"Certainly, to win it is very important. But how many times you have to win it to be remembered, I'm not sure."
