Chelsea Advances Conference League Final With 5-1 Aggregate Win Over Djurgarden

Chelsea secured their place in the UEFA Conference League final after a 1-0 victory over Djurgarden at Stamford Bridge, completing a 5-1 aggregate win in the semifinals. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the only goal of the match, assisted by academy graduate Tyrique George, while 16-year-old Reggie Walsh became Chelsea's youngest player to start a European game. Manager Enzo Maresca made significant squad changes, resting many first-team regulars with an eye on upcoming Premier League fixtures, underscoring the club's focus on Champions League qualification. Despite the relative ease of the win and the competition’s lower profile, Chelsea fans anticipate adding a new European trophy to their collection, with the final set for May 28 in Wroclaw against either Fiorentina or Real Betis. The Swedish fans brought notable atmosphere to the match, but Chelsea dominated possession and chances throughout. This final appearance highlights Chelsea’s continued strength in European competitions and Maresca's opportunity to claim silverware in his first season.
