Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca doubled down on his weekend "outburst" that saw him tell his critics to "f*** off" after his side achieved Champions League qualification on the final day of the Premier League season.

The Blues clinched a return to the Champions League on Sunday by edging Nottingham Forest 1-0.

Using the post-match press conference as an opportunity to bite back at critics, Maresca explained despite constant fault-finding, he had no doubts of achieving Champions League football.

Levi Colwill, scorer of the winning goal at the City Ground, also expressed his relief after constant criticism, saying: "Everyone has been talking a lot of s*** about us this season."
