Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez has nothing but good things to say about his Chelsea experience despite spending most the time on the bench.

Saul's now returned to Atletico after the flop switch to London.

And reflecting on the experience, he said: "Despite the fact that I didn't have the desired minutes, I think it was a good experience for me to go out at a time when I wasn't feeling well mentally.

"I have been able to reset, learn from a new culture, lead a new life, meet a new club, fans. I can only be grateful to all the people at Chelsea for their trust and to my teammates for making the year very bearable and helping me, and to Atleti for having made it easier.
