Conference League: Cucurella highlights why Chelsea could win trophy

Chelsea left-back, Marc Cucurella has expressed optimism about the Blues winning the UEFA Conference League this season.

He said their chances are very high if they can go into every game with confidence and trust in their ability.

Cucurella spoke to the media ahead of Chelsea’s 2-1 win in the Round of 16 first leg against Copenhagen.

Cucurella reminded his teammates that they are playing for a big club, emphasizing the need to think about winning.

The Spaniard said, “For sure. Chelsea are a top club. We have top players with skills and ability. We need to feel we can win the competition, believe we are ready and can do it. We go with all we have to win it.

“If we win everything it’s more easy. We have a good opportunity…if we win this competition, we have the opportunity to bring a trophy. It would be the first time Chelsea have won this trophy. It could be special. It’s a big opportunity to show we are ready.

“We are the same players who won all the games, but maybe with less confidence. This is part of football. We don’t have excuses. We have the quality.”

Chelsea are yet to lose a game in the UEFA Conference League and remain the favorites to win the competition.

They have the chance to become the first club to win all three of UEFA’s club competitions.
