Mourinho’s first season back with the Blues ends in a third place finish.
Despite not winning any trophies it has been a satisfactory return to Chelsea for Jose Mourinho as they won the final game of the season over Cardiff City 1-2.
The victory means they finish third in the Premier League and here is how their players rated in the Welsh capital.
23. Mark Schwarzer – 6
A pretty quiet day in what is likely to be the Australian’s last game for the club and could do nothing about Craig Bellamy’s opener.
28. Cesar Azpilicueta – 8
Reverting back to his usual right-back Azpilicueta finished what has been a brilliant campaign for the Spaniard with another great performance, playing a big part in the equaliser.
3. Ashley Cole – 6
Could also be the Englishman’s last game for the club and whilst this was a solid enough performance, it was hardly memorable.
2. Branislav Ivanovic – 6
With Azpilicueta back on the right the Serbian slotted in centrally and on this evidence that is the 30-year-old’s best position.
33. Tomas Kalas – 7
Built on a good league debut against Liverpool a few weeks ago with an even better display here in which he shackled Fraizer Campbell with apparent ease.
