Enzo Maresca Highlights Strategic Need for Chelsea to Win 2025 Conference League

The Conference League victory, in the opinion of Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, might be a major turning point in proving that the team is “back” to its competitive peak.
Chelsea feels certain they will advance to the final following a great showing against Swedish club Djurgarden in the first leg of the semi-final, where they took a commanding 4-1 lead.
On May 28, the championship match will be held in Wroclaw, Poland. Real Betis or Fiorentina might be Chelsea’s rivals.

Maresca said, “Yes, for me, winning a trophy like the Conference League is a clear indicator that Chelsea is back,” in response to a question about whether winning a title in UEFA’s third-tier tournament would be a turning point for Chelsea.

He underlined how crucial it is to win a trophy and pointed out that the Conference League is a new beginning for the team.
“If elite teams like Real Madrid aren’t playing in the Conference League, it’s because they have a different level of experience,” he continued. Our involvement shows where we stand right now, and it’s time to expand on that.

Maresca added that Chelsea’s legacy would be further enhanced if they won the Conference League, making them the first team in Europe to win in every major European competition.

He said he was sure the club would have a winners’ attitude going into the semifinals and championship game.

The focus is still on the task at hand even though Chelsea’s team is valued 44 times higher than Djurgarden’s.

According to goalie Filip Jorgensen, the team wants to take the forthcoming match seriously, saying, “We will treat this with the importance it deserves.” We are keen to go to the final of this European tournament, which is now in its semi-final. We are dedicated to give it our all, even if we are aware that there is still work to be done during the following ninety minutes.

Keep in mind that the second leg is scheduled for Thursday, May 8 at 8 p.m. at Stamford Bridge.
