Enzo Maresca is a man with a point to prove as he targets football history for Chelsea in Wednesday's UEFA Conference League final against Real Betis.
-
Victory in the final round of Premier League matches at Nottingham Forest on Sunday secured qualification for next season’s Champions League.
Now Maresca’s thoughts turn to Wroclaw and the chance for Chelsea to become the first team to win all five of UEFA’s major men's club competitions.
The Blues have twice won the Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup and the defunct Cup Winners’ Cup and can now complete the set if they overcome Betis in the final of Europe's newest competition in Poland.
Maresca has had a rollercoaster first season in charge at Stamford Bridge after replacing Mauricio Pochettino.
