UEFA Conference League News

Real Betis are annoyed by cross city rivals Sevilla's public praise of Enzo Maresca, who led Chelsea to the UEFA Conference League title on Wednesday.

Enzo Maresca reacts to Chelsea's 4-1 victory over Real Betis to win the UEFA Conference League and praises his team's progress this season.

The mere fact they were in the UECL is a reflection of the mistakes made to this point, but Chelsea's triumph on Wednesday can be the foundation for a far brighter future.

Chelsea beat Real Betis in the Conference League final on Wednesday, sealing a preseason ambition to lift the trophy that Reece James believed they had to win.

Enzo Maresca believes Chelsea's Conference League success could be a "starting point" for further glory after ending the club's four-year wait for silverware.
