LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City captain Kasper Schmeichel hailed the Foxes' first FA Cup triumph as a dream come true on Saturday as manager Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to the collective spirit of his club.

Leicester beat Chelsea 1-0 thanks to a thunderous long-range shot by Youri Tielemans and also two sensational saves by Schmeichel.

"The performance today, the grit and determination, I'm so proud of everybody, everybody's contributed to get to the final, everybody's played, everybody's been sensational," Schmeichel told BBC television. Rodgers said he had not been aware that Leicester, Premier League champions in 2015-16 as underdogs, had never won the FA Cup until he joined the club in 2019."The success of this team and this club is getting to positions like this and competing.

Chelsea still have a Champions League final against Manchester City to come and were one of six Premier League clubs involved in plans for a closed European Super League that collapsed in the face of widespread outcry.
