Chelsea Faces Djurgarden in Historic Conference League Semifinal

Chelsea face Djurgarden in the UEFA Conference League semi-final, with the Swedish side making history as the first club from their country to reach a European semi-final in 38 years. Chelsea are widely seen as favorites, having demonstrated attacking strength and depth throughout the competition, but they must balance this fixture with a crucial upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. Djurgarden reached this stage through a dramatic extra-time win over Rapid Vienna, showcasing resilience and team spirit despite being hit by injuries and doubts over key players. Chelsea, meanwhile, are missing several squad members due to injuries and eligibility issues, but are expected to field a competitive lineup, potentially giving opportunities to younger players. Both teams approach the match with determination: Chelsea aiming to reassert their European credentials, and Djurgarden seeking an upset in what is arguably the biggest game in their club’s history. The encounter is set for Stockholm, with international fans able to watch the action live.
