Enzo Maresca is craving another opportunity to stick two fingers up at Chelsea’s critics this season by following up Champions League qualification with the Conference League trophy to cap a perfect week.
It was following Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League win at Nottingham Forest that Maresca bullishly told his doubters to ‘eff off’ after being annoyed by their barbs, and on Wednesday night he will face Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis in the final.
Among those in attendance in Wroclaw, Poland, is Chelsea's suspended winger Mykhailo Mudryk.
