Manager Manuel Pellegrini has emphasized the significance of the upcoming Conference League final, describing it as 'the most important match because it's the last one of the season.' The experienced coach is maintaining a balanced perspective, noting that his team must first focus on their fixture against Valencia before turning attention to the European showdown.
Reflecting on his team's recent success, Pellegrini referenced their Spanish Cup victory against Betis, which he described as 'a shock for the city.' The triumph has elevated expectations among supporters, something the manager acknowledges brings added responsibility.
'Without doubt, people's expectations are very high, and this places great responsibility on us to win,' Pellegrini stated. 'But in our work, we need to prioritize the next match.'
According to Statbet analysis, European finals represent crucial opportunities for clubs to cement their legacy in continental competitions, with victory potentially altering the trajectory of a team's season evaluation.
The Conference League final between Chelsea and Betis is scheduled for May 28th at 22:00 Kyiv time, where both sides will battle for European glory in what promises to be a compelling contest to conclude the season.
