Chelsea Seeks Historic UEFA Quadruple in Conference League Final

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has emphasized the challenge of convincing his players that the UEFA Conference League was the "best competition in the world" as they prepare to face Real Betis in the final. Despite already securing a Champions League spot for next season, Maresca stressed the importance of winning the Conference League, as Chelsea cannot participate in the Champions League or Europa League while in this competition. A victory would make Chelsea the first club to win all four major UEFA competitions, including the Champions League, Europa League, and Cup Winners' Cup. Chelsea's young squad has impressed throughout the tournament, setting a competition record with 38 goals and winning 11 of 12 matches. Maresca, in his first season managing the team, also highlighted the influence of Manuel Pellegrini, Betis' coach and his former mentor. Chelsea aims to build a winning mentality through this triumph, overcoming skepticism about the competition's prestige.
