James expressed his excitement and gratitude after lifting the trophy, saying, "This is an amazing moment for me. As a child, I was a huge supporter of this team. Just being able to play for Chelsea once would have been enough for me. But to captain the team and lead them to two trophies this season is a dream come true."

James believes that this victory is a positive step for the team, sending a strong message to their opponents. He is pleased with the progress the club has made and hopes that next season they will compete at the highest level in the Premier League and Champions League.

James also draws confidence from the fact that they were able to beat the champions of Europe, who had previously defeated all the other English teams. He is optimistic that this victory will give them the motivation to continue improving and achieving great things in the future.
