Chelsea starts on strong footing as it looks to secure its spot in the Conference League semi-finals. Enzo Maresca’s Blues hold a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg in Warsaw last week, thanks to goals from Tyrique George and Noni Madueke.
George scored his first senior goal for Chelsea to open the scoring early in the second half in Poland. Madueke, who came on as a halftime substitute, then netted twice to give the Blues a comfortable aggregate lead heading into the second leg.
Chelsea have been perfect in the Conference League this season since qualifying for the League Phase. They will be confident of finishing the job and setting up a semi-final matchup against either Djurgårdens or Rapid Vienna.
However, Maresca is not taking anything for granted, especially after Chelsea were held to a draw by Ipswich Town in the Premier League last weekend. The Blues need a strong finish to the season to qualify for next year’s Champions League.
“We try to prioritise always the next match,” Maresca said in his pre-match press conference on Wednesday. “The next match is tomorrow night that for us is an important game because it can give us the opportunity to reach a semi-final in a European competition. So that is the first one and then hopefully we can reach the semi-final and focus on Sunday’s game [against Fulham].”
Chelsea received a boost with midfielder Romeo Lavia returning to team training this week. However, the Belgian is unavailable for selection on Thursday as he was not included in the Blues’ Conference League squad.
