WROCLAW, Poland -- Enzo Maresca said he believes Chelsea's Conference League success could be a "starting point" for further glory after ending the club's four-year wait for silverware.
The Blues recovered from Abde Ezzalzouli's ninth-minute opener to beat Real Betis 4-1 in Wednesday's final in Wroclaw as Enzo Fernández, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho and Moisés Caicedo all found the net.
Cole Palmer turned the game with two brilliant assists for Fernández and then Jackson, helping deliver the first trophy of the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital era following their takeover, which was completed in May 2022.
