But Maresca's Blues now face three matches with Premier League big boys as they seek to upgrade to Champions League qualification before the final in Wroclaw on May 28.

Reggie Walsh became the youngest Blues starter since 1967 - and the most youthful ever in Europe - in one of 10 changes from the weekend.

Walsh had made his debut off the bench late in the 4-1 win in the first leg. And there was little jeopardy last night for the teenager and his £1bn squad against the club fourth in the Swedish top flight in this third-tier competition.
