"Last night’s defeat was a tough one to take, and it’s taken me a while to process how gutted we all are to not lift that trophy and to think of the right words," Chelsea star wrote. "It was an honour, as always, to represent England, and to lose in a final is heartbreaking. But when you look back at how far we’ve come as a team, I’m so proud of what we have achieved. "Our team goes so much further than the one you see on the pitch and they all deserve a thank you for the part they had to play in getting us this far. My teammates, the England staff, our families and friends and of course, the fans. "We hear your support from the stands and we see you watching at home or in the pub with friends and family. That’s not lost on any of us, we’re all so grateful to have been able to bring people back together after so much time apart. "It’s devastating though to see some of the racist abuse that’s been directed at my teammates who were brave enough to step up when it mattered the most. They deserve nothing but praise and admiration, and we all stand together against the awful abuse that they have received. "But to the true fans who show us all support, this is just the beginning. We will come back stronger. "
