Enzo Maresca believes Chelsea are “back” if they lift the UEFA Conference League title this season. With a commanding 4-1 lead over Djurgardens from the semi-final first leg, Chelsea are just one step from the final. Maresca highlighted that winning this trophy would make Chelsea the first club to win all four major European competitions.
While the tournament is a step down from their usual ambitions, it represents a vital opportunity to rebuild a winning mentality within the squad, the youngest in the Premier League. Sunday’s 3-1 win over Liverpool boosted confidence as Maresca balances ambitions in Europe and the league. He remains cautious after their scare against Legia Warsaw, urging full focus for the second leg.
With Newcastle looming just 72 hours after the semi-final, squad management is key. Cole Palmer’s recent form and birthday celebrations add to the positive mood at Cobham. Maresca sees this as the foundation for future success, reflecting Chelsea’s journey from past glory to rebuilding under new leadership.
