We have a fluid relationship.”Elsewhere, the Blues No 1 referenced to his infamous fall-out with his manager Maurizio Sarri, which saw them publicly falling out during the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City.Kepa was heavily criticised after refusing to be substituted during the Wembley showdown, with the former Atletico Bilbao goalkeeper admitting it was something he regretted doing.Maurizio Sarri couldn’t believe it when Kepa refused to come off in the Carabao Cup finalgetty3

Of course it was a day Im not proud of.“I said sorry to him and from then on our relationship has been very good, like it was before.“I’ve kept his confidence, we’ve accomplished our targets and I think our season was very positive.“It has been a step forward in my career in every sense [moving to Chelsea].I’ve had a lot of games, we accomplished our targets for the season and now, looking backwards, I think it has been a positive year.”Kepa helped Chelsea win the Europa LeagueGetty Images - Getty3
