Chelsea can win their first piece of silverware under Enzo Maresca when they face Real Betis in the final of the Europa Conference League on Wednesday evening.
The Blues have blitzed the competition en route to the showpiece event in Poland and head into the upcoming clash with Betis in confident mood. Chelsea secured their place in next season’s Champions League at the weekend after beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 on the final day of the Premier League campaign.
Chelsea haven’t faced the sternest opposition in the knockout stages of the Conference League, conquering Copenhagen, Legia Warsaw and Djurgården thus far. Betis will prove their toughest test after narrowly defeating Fiorentina—runners-up during the last two seasons—in the semifinal.
Betis have already secured their place in next term’s Europa League after finishing sixth in La Liga but are looking for their first piece of European silverware in their first continental final in Wrocław. The Seville side last won a major trophy when they clinched the Copa del Rey in 2021–22 but will need to upset the odds to make history.
Here is guide to the game.
