Real Betis and Chelsea Set for Historic Europa Conference League Final Showdown

Real Betis and Chelsea clash in the Europa Conference League Final on May 28 in Wroclaw, their first meeting in nearly 20 years. Chelsea enters as favorites with impressive form, winning four of their last five matches, while Betis struggles with four draws and one loss in their recent outings. The English side's potent attack, led by Cole Palmer, faces Manuel Pellegrini's experienced squad in what promises to be a tactical battle.

The Blues have sealed qualification for next season's Champions League and will be hoping to end their season on a victorious note.

Blues boss Maresca confirmed that the goalkeeper to start in the final will be Filip Jorgensen, ahead of Robert Sanchez.

“Filip [Jorgensen] is going to play in the final [ of the Europa Conference League],” Maresca told reporters.

“He’s played all competition and it would be unfair to take him out [from the final] now.“It will be him plus ten Chelsea players, I am not sure who else will play,” he stated.
