Enzo Maresca emphasizes that winning Wednesday's Conference League final would solidify Chelsea's resurgence as a major European contender. After securing Champions League qualification, Chelsea aims to cap Maresca's first season with a historic win. They have a chance to be the first team to win all four major UEFA tournaments. Maresca insists that tomorrow's final is a unique challenge, reinforcing the need to prove themselves once more following their Premier League success.
The message over the last 48 hours has been that we did something important, but if we want to confirm that we are becoming an important club again, we need to show the desire to win the game and the trophy.
Every day we have something to prove, no doubt. What we have done is done. Now we have to prove ourselves again tomorrow.
So it's job done in the Premier League, fantastic, and we're happy. But tomorrow is a different game, a final, and we want to win at any cost.
Including Maresca, each of the last seven Chelsea managers to take charge of a major European final have done so in their first season at the club.
