Enzo Maresca has no doubt he has backing of Chelsea’s owners

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca insisted he feels the support of the club’s owners as his side continue to limp towards the season’s conclusion.

Progression to the Conference League semi-finals on Thursday was overshadowed by boos that greeted the players at the end of their 2-1 quarter-final second-leg defeat to Legia Warsaw, with the team currently fifth in the Polish Ekstraklasa good value for their win at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues will play Swedish side Djurgarden in the last four and remain favourites to lift the trophy in Wroclaw on May 28.

But an alarming defeat bodes ominously for the team’s – and the owners’ – main objective of returning the club to the Champions League for the first time in three seasons.

Chelsea will face Swedish side Djurgarden in the #UECL semi-finals.
