'European trophy would prove Chelsea are back'

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says the club can make a statement and prove they are "back" by winning the Conference League.

The Blues are 4-1 up after the first leg of the semi-final at Swedish club Djurgarden last week and are strong favourites to progress to a final against Real Betis or Fiorentina, which will be played in Wroclaw, Poland, on 28 May.

Asked whether winning a trophy, albeit Uefa's third-tier European competition, would be enough to say Chelsea are back, Maresca said: "Yes, for me, winning a trophy, the Conference League, is a statement to say Chelsea is back.
