Enzo Maresca insists winning the Conference League trophy this season would be a ‘statement’ that says ‘Chelsea is back’ as they bid to complete the clean sweep of European silverware.
The Blues are set to face Swedish side Djurgarden on Thursday in their semi-final second leg with a 4-1 lead from the first leg in Stockholm. With Thursday evening’s clash expected to be a formality, either Real Betis or Fiorentina will await in the May 28 final in Wroclaw, Poland.
While the fanbase may be more used to winning in the Champions League and Europa League, Maresca is not among those sniffing at the possibility of picking up a trophy this month.
