The1905.Club Summary

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has stated that failing to win the UEFA Conference League would be a "100 per cent" disappointment for the club, given their status as favourites. With the Blues resuming their campaign against FC Copenhagen in the last 16, Cucurella emphasised the importance of lifting the trophy to validate the squad’s progress and end the club’s three-year trophy drought under Todd Boehly's ownership. Chelsea have strengthened their knockout squad by including key player Cole Palmer, while returning players such as Benoît Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah provide a boost. Head coach Enzo Maresca has welcomed the return of injured stars as Chelsea look to finish the season strongly and finally claim silverware.
