Manuel Pellegrini: "No, it was not revenge. We didn't want to lose two games against Chelsea here at home.
"Today the team played very well in all senses.
"It was very important for our team not to play against Sunderland, as this team played 18 games in the last two months and we were not fresh.
"That is why we were a little down in our performance against Chelsea and Norwich but working again on Thursday and Friday I saw the team was fresh and I was absolutely sure we were going to have a very good game."
"Today we saw again the team that was playing before the last two games.
"It was very important for us to lose three points in the Premier League against a very good team with great players.
"The way we won today is important for the trust of the team, for continuing in the FA Cup. For our team it is a very important competition also, but nothing more.
"We never talk about that (quadruple). We try to fight in all the competitions as far we can.
"It is one step more but we continue now in Champions League.
"We will start thinking about Barcelona tomorrow.
"Today it was very important to have the performance we did in all senses - defending, possession, attacking.
"Chelsea didn't have any chances to shoot at our goal. That is important for the trust of the individuals."
