Betis vs Chelsea: Confirmed lineups for today’s 2024-25 UEFA Conference League final

Real Betis and Chelsea meet in the 2024/25 UEFA Conference League final at Tarczynski Arena Stadium today, in a clash that carries significant weight for both sides. After having solid domestic campaigns, each club sees this game as a final opportunity to crown their season with an European trophy.

Chelsea have found new energy under the guidance of their coach Enzo Maresca. The arrival of the Italian manager has injected fresh life into their project. Despite spending millions, the team now seems to have found a clear path forward. Cole Palmer has emerged as their most influential player. He has been a key figure in their revival and their strong UEFA Conference League performance.

Real Betis, on the other hand, have been building their sporting project for five years. Despite facing multiple financial challenges, coach Manuel Pellegrini has established a well-organized squad. The team recently eliminated the Italian side Fiorentina in the Conference League semifinals. Key players like Johnny Cardoso, Isco Alarcon, and Antony Santos have been central to their success.

With that, Pellegrini has built a highly consistent team. Betis finished in 6th place in LaLiga, which gives them a chance to qualify for European competitions. Additionally, they now have their best opportunity to win their first European title in club history. This situation stands in stark contrast to their English counterparts, who have already secured two UEFA Champions League trophies.
