Maresca Reveals Shocking Mistake That Doomed Chelsea’s Final Hopes
You know, Chelsea’s journey to clinching the Conference League crown wasn’t exactly a stroll in the park—especially in that first half against Real Betis. Enzo Maresca’s squad looked a bit off-kilter early on, and honestly, Betis, fueled by an inspired Isco, nearly had the match wrapped up before the break in Wroclaw. It felt like Chelsea were caught in a post-victory haze, having just sealed their Champions League spot against Nottingham Forest barely days before. Yet, the second half told a different story altogether. A tactical jolt from Maresca, bringing on Reece James, sparked a flurry of exquisite goals from Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, and Moises Caicedo, flipping the script and sealing a historic win. It’s those dramatic shifts, that raw emotion—frustration turning into elation—that make football so damned fascinating.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said he was not surprised by his side’s poor first-half performance in the Conference League final win over Real Betis.
