Cech retires, beaten by the team he helped build

Instead, he was on the wrong end of a 4-1 loss, which wasn't the way he wanted to go.

But Cech said he was still proud after a string of saves to keep Chelsea from an even bigger margin of victory.

"I had to perform," he told British broadcaster BT Sport. "I have to say I've done everything so I can look back and have no regrets about today — apart from the fact that we worked so hard during the whole year and in the end we have nothing."
