In the running for a place in the next Champions League, something that hasn’t happened for a long time at Chelsea, Maresca knows very well that winning the Conference League, and his team is definitely the favorite, could give him great satisfaction. A European trophy is not something that everyone can take home. And let’s just say that his team has a good chance of winning this title at the end of the season.
Also because of the commitments that Chelsea will have to face in the Premier League in the coming weeks, it’s better to try to settle the score (there’s a good chance of doing so) already in the first leg, away against Legia Warsaw. There’s always a first time, we titled this article for a reason: these two teams have never faced each other in the course of their history and we’re sure that it’s unlikely that they will do so in the future. Because while it’s normal to see Chelsea in Europe (and maybe in other much more important competitions) it’s completely unusual to see the home team get this far in any European competition.
That said, and highlighting the fact that Chelsea have played matches like this – even much more important ones – throughout their extraordinary history, we can safely say that the visiting team will take the win and a pass to the semifinals. The return leg in a week’s time at Stamford Bridge should be a mere formality.
