Champions League Chelsea
Enzo Maresca and the fans will know how important it is to make Champions League next season as it will do wonders for the club being back on the biggest club competition in the world and it will definitely put smiles back on Chelsea fans faces.
Not only that but it can also attract big names in the summer transfer window, and it's more than likely Chelsea will definitely be looking some new additions to their squad.
Chelsea's progress
The last two Chelsea season's haven't been good enough as they finished 12th in the 2022/23 season and sixth last season but they still spent entirety of last season in the bottom half.
This season has been a massive step up for them as they are so close to clinching Champions League football.
Enzo Maresca and their fans will be delighted with their club if they can win a major trophy and get Champions League football - not a bad season at all.
Maresca has already said if his side win the Conference league "It's a statement that Chelsea are back."
James put's in a shift
History makers?
Will Chelsea make history on the 28th if they win the Conference League?
Yes they will - they will be the only team to ultimately 'complete' Europe as winning this trophy means they will have won every European club competition.

Terrific Tyrique
19 year old Tyrique George played incredibly well tonight.
He was constantly trying to take on his man and always get shots off.
And obviously his performance was topped off with a lovely well weighted pass to Dewsbury-Hall for the only goal of the game.
Some promising signs from the young English attacker!
When and where is the Conference League final?

And that's it all over!
A European final awaits for Chelsea but their opponent is yet to be confirmed - Fiorentina/Real Betis - as the other semi final looks like it's going to extra time.
Chelsea have done the job easily - as it has been throughout the whole competition.
They will have a chance at a major trophy this season and will be the first team to attempt to win all three European trophies.
Some great performances from Chelsea youngsters in this game including George, Walsh and Dewsbury-Hall.

90+1. What a run that is by Gusto.
He picks the ball up from just outside his penalty area and just doesn't stop running.
He makes his way into the opposition penalty box where he lets fly but his shot is saved comfortably by Rinne who puts it out for a corner.

67. Wow it should really be another for the blues!
James pulls out a beauty of a pass to George on the left who brings the ball down with a great first touch.
He cuts it back to Dewsbury-Hall and he gets his shot horribly wrong as he scuffs it wide.
Should be another assist for George and another goal for Dewsbury-Hall.

62. HOW HAS THAT NOT GONE IN THEN!?
Some brilliant play from Sancho on the right driving at the fullback who puts a great ball into George and he somehow misses an open goal header.
George seems to have hurt himself in the process as he looked to have landed roughly after that missed header.

60. George has been very bright today, always trying to find space to get shots off on goal.
He finds himself on the left side of the Djurgarden's penalty area and finds space for a shot but this one just blazes over the bar.
