Chelsea Football Club has set its sights on Europa Conference League success, as manager Enzo Maresca leads a 23-man squad to Wroclaw, Poland, for the final against Real Betis. The Blues aim to conclude their season with silverware on Wednesday night.

Fresh off securing a Champions League spot with a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, Maresca has selected a robust squad for the encounter. The goalkeeping options include Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, and Lucas Bergstrom.

The defensive lineup features captain Reece James, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Malo Gusto, Josh Acheampong, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, and Trevoh Chalobah.

In midfield, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Mathis Amougou, Enzo Fernandez, and Moises Caicedo are all available for selection.

The attacking options are Noni Madueke, Pedro Neto, Marc Guiu, Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, Tyrique George, and Jadon Sancho. Chelsea looks to capitalize on this talent to secure a victory against the LaLiga side.

Lionel Messi, the former captain and iconic figure of FC Barcelona, has publicly congratulated his former club on their recent La Liga title victory. The Inter Miami forward took to Instagram, reposting the club’s celebratory post and adding a simple, yet significant, “Congratulations.”

Barcelona secured their 28th La Liga title this season after a 2-0 victory against Espanyol. This victory, secured under the management of Hansi Flick, completes a treble for the Catalan giants, adding to their previous triumphs in the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey. While they faced disappointment in the Champions League, falling to Inter Milan, the La Liga title solidifies a successful season for the Blaugrana. Messi’s acknowledgement underscores his continued connection with the club despite his departure in 2021.

Reports suggest that incoming Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has already secured the club’s approval for three crucial signings ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup in June. According to Madrid Zone, relayed by Marca, Alonso has requested reinforcements in key defensive areas: a right-back, reportedly Trent Alexander-Arnold, a new left-back, and a central defender.

This move signals a proactive approach from Alonso, who is poised to replace Carlo Ancelotti and take the reins at the Santiago Bernabéu. His prior playing experience with Real Madrid undoubtedly strengthens his understanding of the club’s needs and expectations. With these targeted acquisitions, Alonso appears determined to implement his vision swiftly and compete effectively in the upcoming season. The coming months will reveal how these signings will integrate into the squad and contribute to Real Madrid’s continued success.
