Having seen Chelsea and Manchester United spark controversy over the weekend, Cech was pleased to see the latest meeting between two old adversaries produce a 'celebration of football'. "This was exactly the kind of Chelsea versus Manchester United the whole world wants to see," he said on the cup clash. "The match on Sunday did not end in the best way due to all of the things that surrounded it, but this was a real celebration of football. All of the players deserve credit for that. "I am glad that both teams forgot about what happened on Sunday and it was a completely new match. "There was plenty of quality on show from both sides, mainly in attacking play. There was real drama and nine goals. "For the spectators it must have been great to watch, but for myself and the managers it was not that great at times."
