Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is confident that securing the Conference League title would serve as a definitive statement of the club's resurgence. With a commanding 4-1 lead from the first leg of the semi-final against Swedish club Djurgarden, Chelsea is poised to advance to the final, potentially facing Real Betis or Fiorentina in Wroclaw, Poland, on May 28.

Maresca emphasized the importance of winning the Conference League, stating, "Yes, for me, winning a trophy, the Conference League, is a statement to say Chelsea is back." He acknowledged that while the competition may not be at the level of the Champions League, it represents a crucial step in rebuilding the club's winning mentality.

Chelsea's squad, valued significantly higher than Djurgarden's, is expected to dominate the upcoming match at Stamford Bridge. Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, set to start, expressed the team's determination, saying, "We will take it as seriously as any other games. It's the semi-final of a European competition and we want to be in the final."

Beyond the Conference League, Chelsea's performance in the Premier League also holds importance, with a crucial match against Newcastle United on Sunday that could impact their Champions League qualification. The club's focus remains on achieving success across all competitions, marking a new chapter in their storied history.
