After a 4-1 away win over Swedish team Djurgardens in the first leg of the UEFA League semi-final, Chelsea has almost one foot in the final to be held in Wroclaw on May 28. If they succeed in advancing, the Blues will face the winner between Real Betis and Fiorentina in the final.

Head coach Enzo Maresca knows that this is not only about the significance of a trophy, but also an important announcement to the outside world.

"For me, if we can win a title this season, especially the UEFA Champions League trophy, it means that Chelsea is back," Maresca said at the press conference before the second leg.

“This will be a new starting point to help us build a true championship spirit and championship culture in the future.”

In addition to the UEFA Champions League qualification, Chelsea's fight for the top four in the Premier League continues. They are currently two points ahead of Nottingham Forest, who are ranked sixth, with three rounds left. Once Chelsea can rank among the top five, they will be able to directly enter the Champions League next season.

But in Maresca's eyes, what is more important than the ranking is the team's process of rebuilding its winning mentality.

"Winning this trophy is not just about qualifying for the European Cup, but about reawakening the winning mentality that belongs to Chelsea," he said.
