Chelsea 1-0 Djurgarden: Chelsea beat Djurgarden in the second leg to book a spot in the Conference League final

Chelsea booked their place in the 2025 UEFA Europa Conference League final with a professional 1-0 win against Djurgarden at Stamford Bridge, completing a dominant 5-1 aggregate triumph.

The result confirms Chelsea’s fifth straight victory in all competitions and sets up a high-stakes final clash in Wrocław against Real Betis, with a potential spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League on the line.

Chelsea 1-0 Djurgarden (Agg: 5-1): Blues Cruise into Conference League Final

Having already secured a 4-1 advantage in Sweden, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca rotated his squad for the return leg, handing a first senior start to 16-year-old Reggie Walsh and resting several regular starters.

Despite a low-tempo start, Chelsea maintained control of possession throughout the first half. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hallopened the scoring with a precision strike off the post after forcing an earlier save from Djurgarden keeper Jacob Rinne. Teen talent Tyrique George also tested Rinne but was denied.

Djurgarden, trailing by three goals on aggregate, struggled to create clear-cut chances. Keita Kosugi’s deflected effort called Filip Jorgensen into action, but Chelsea’s backline remained largely untroubled.

Second-Half Response from Djurgarden Falls Short

The Swedish side showed more attacking intent after the interval. Tobias Gulliksen came close with a curling effort, and Daniel Stensson forced a reflex save from Jorgensen. But any hopes of a comeback were dashed as Chelsea calmly closed out the game with disciplined possession and minimal risk.

Chelsea’s aggregate dominance meant that Djurgarden would have needed a miracle to turn things around—a feat they never realistically threatened.

Final Awaits in Wrocław: Chelsea Eye European Silverware

The 2025 UEFA Conference League final will be held in Wrocław, Poland, where Chelsea will meet Real Betis. Both sides are known for their attacking flair, ensuring a high-profile showdown for the final trophy of the European season.

For Maresca and his resurgent Chelsea side, the final offers the chance to:

• Lift a European trophy
• Seal UEFA Champions League qualification
• End the season with major momentum ahead of the summer

🇸🇪 Djurgarden Bow Out With Heads Held High

Despite falling short at Stamford Bridge, Djurgarden’s campaign will be remembered for its historic run to the semi-finals, showcasing Swedish football on the European stage.

Currently nine points behind the league leaders in the Allsvenskan after just six matches, Djurgarden must now refocus on domestic competition. However, their performances in Europe offer a foundation to build upon.

Chelsea's progression to the UEFA Conference League final highlights a well-executed European campaign under Maresca’s leadership. With rising stars making an impact and silverware within reach, the Blues now look forward to their trip to Wrocław and a shot at continental glory.
