Ahead of Saturday’s showdown between the rivals at Stamford Bridge, Jorginho told BT Sport: ‘It was close but it didn’t happen. It’s how it works in football sometimes.
‘I’m very, very happy at Chelsea. It’s a massive club and everyone here at the moment, the atmosphere is so good because everyone is humble.
‘That’s why everything is going so well.’

After Italy’s Euro 2020 triumph, Jorginho was named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year.
‘It’s surreal. It’s unbelievable,’ the Italy international said.
‘I achieved this and it’s something you work so hard for and you dream about, but to get there is a long way.
‘And then you get there and you think: ‘Wow, I’m here now!’
