Chelsea punched their tickets to the UEFA Conference League semifinals and remain the overwhelming favorites to win the competition.
Enzo Maresca's side arrive to the semifinals having won nine of the 10 games they've played so far since the start of the league phase. Despite an alarming 1–2 defeat in the second leg of the quarterfinals vs. Legia Warszawa, which saw Chelsea's perfect record in the competition come to an end, they advanced to the semifinals thanks to a 3–0 win in the first leg of the tie.
The Blues are still fighting for the Champions League places in the Premier League with only six games to go. Returning to the top-tier European competition is Chelsea's priority, however, winning the Conference League remains an obligation for Maresca, given the squad's quality gap with the remaining sides in the competition.
Chelsea's attention now turns to their semifinals opponent.
