The Blues turned around a half-time deficit to triumph 4-1 against Real Betis in Wroclaw last week with Cole Palmer the key factor in turning the game around.

The England forward set up goals for Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson before Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo turned it into a procession, as the team built on their Champions League qualification the previous Sunday.

"Hopefully it can be a starting point to build a winner mentality," said Maresca.

"You need to win games, you need to win competitions.

"And for sure, the trophy we won tonight is going to make us better.

"But also, I'm very proud about the path or the journey we have done in the Premier League. But for me, it’s the most difficult competition in the world. You have to be consistent in 38 games. And these players, they showed.
