There were reports of commuters being burned so badly their hair was falling out after a homemade bucket bomb device sent a "fireball down a carriage".

However, the Blues chief is adamant the best way is to go about life as normal, but reserved his thoughts for those affected by the blast.

Conte said: "I'd like to say that all our thoughts are for the people affected in the incident on the tube.

"For sure this type of situation is very dangerous and yes your mind goes in this situation.

"But I think that we have to try to think only to play the game and I think this is the best way.

"I remember when I was a coach of the national team and if you remember well when the terrorist attack we stay with the national team, we must play against Belgium.

"In this case it's important to continue and for sure there is a great disappointment for this.

"A lot of time it's very difficult to understand why. Why?

"But I think we have to continue, to show that we are stronger than them."
