**Wroclaw, Poland** – Chelsea secured their place in the Europa Conference League final with a comfortable 5-1 aggregate victory over Djurgården, winning the second leg 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. Despite fielding a youthful side with several academy players making their debuts or first starts, the Premier League club comfortably controlled the match.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the only goal of the game in the 38th minute, showcasing his experience amidst a team featuring 16-year-old Reggie Walsh (making his second senior appearance) and 19-year-old Tyrique George. Manager Enzo Maresca opted to rest key players, prioritizing the Premier League’s top-four race. Despite a less-than-fluid performance, Chelsea never looked in serious danger.
“It’s amazing to be in the final,” said Dewsbury-Hall after the match. Maresca praised the composure of his young players, highlighting the success of Chelsea’s academy system. “I’m just here to try and guide the young players,” Maresca stated. “They were very composed, very calm.”
The victory sets up a final clash against Real Betis in Wroclaw, Poland on May 28th. While acknowledging the tougher challenge ahead, Maresca and his team will be aiming to secure Chelsea’s first Europa Conference League title.
