Chelsea booked their place in the UEFA Conference League final with a 1-0 victory over Sweden’s Djurgarden at Stamford Bridge, completing a dominant 5-1 aggregate triumph in the semi-finals.
Dewsbury-Hall Fires Blues to Wroclaw
Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the decisive goal in the 38th minute, finishing coolly after being played through by Tyrique George. The strike capped a controlled performance from Enzo Maresca’s rotated side, who could become the first club to win all three current UEFA competitions.
Record-Breaking Night for Teen Talent
The match saw 16-year-old Reggie Walsh make history as Chelsea’s youngest ever European starter, just days after his debut in the first leg. Manager Maresca made nine changes from the weekend’s Premier League win over Liverpool, prioritizing Sunday’s crucial clash at Newcastle.
Road to Redemption
Chelsea, who haven’t lifted major silverware since their 2021 Champions League triumph, will face either Fiorentina or Real Betis in the May 28 final in Wroclaw. The Blues remain on course for a potential Champions League return through both European success and their fifth-place Premier League position.
