It was a dream finish to a remarkable season for Carlo Ancelotti and Chelsea.
The first year manager led the Blues to the Premier League title last weekend and today they capped off a double with a 1-0 FA Cup win over Portsmouth at new Wembley Stadium.
With the win, Chelsea became the seventh club to pull off that version of the double in a campaign.
Didier Drogba had the only goal of the game, his 37th of the season. It was a laser of a free kick in the 59th minute that bounced off the post and past Portsmouth keeper David James.
Chelsea carried the play in the first half as expected but couldn't put a ball in the net as they hit the post at least three times.
Soon to be relegated Portsmouth's best chance was a no-doubt foul call in the box that led to a penalty kick for Kevin-Prince Boateng. He miss hit it slightly and Blues goalie Peter Cech, still one of the best dove to save it before it was cleared out of play by Alex.
Chelsea also missed a penalty kick as the normally money Frank Lampard put one wide in the 89th minute.
