Jose Mourinho has said that Chelsea will be "better" in the Champions League next season after being knocked out in the semi-finals this evening.
The Premier League side lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge to La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, who will now face local rivals Real Madrid in the final.
The manager told Sky Sports News: "Next season will be better than this season, that's our objective, the objective of everybody. Our young players will be better, hopefully we will have a couple of players to improve our team and we will try to do better next season.
"I can't be critical of a group of players who are trying everything. We have problems with injuries, suspensions and players who can't play in the Champions League."
The final takes place in Portugal next month.
