Enzo Maresca says Cole Palmer ’s lean streak has made him a better player, after the playmaker’s sensational performance inspired Chelsea ’s Conference League comeback. The Blues claimed their first silverware in three years by beating Real Betis 4-1 in Wroclaw in what was a far more competitive contest than that scoreline suggests.

Enzo Maresca said Chelsea’s victory in the Conference League final can be a “starting point” as he looks to guide the club back to former glories. The Blues turned around a half-time deficit to triumph 4-1 against Real Betis in Wroclaw, with Cole Palmer the key factor in turning the game around.
