After Chelsea’s Conference League triumph over Real Betis, most of the squad wanted to get to the coach and head to the afterparty rather than discuss the evening’s events with the media. Loud screaming could be heard from the press conference room as journalists waited for Cole Palmer and Enzo Maresca to go through their official duties.
Once done, Palmer was so distracted by the thought of getting away from a microphone, he left his man-of-the-match award behind. Fortunately, Tosin Adarabioyo, who had come with him mainly for moral support, picked it up for him. “You forget this!” he said with great mirth. 😅🎖️

Chelsea will ask Liam Delap to put the Club World Cup ahead of England in another club-against-country row this summer.
Delap is close to reuniting with Enzo Maresca after his £30 million release clause at Ipswich Town was met, but has also been preparing for the Under-21 Euros in Slovakia, where Lee Carsley’s side will defend their title.
While Delap, 22, is desperate to play for England, Chelsea sources are expecting the club to request for him to be released - should he complete his move to Stamford Bridge - for Fifa’s expanded club competition starting on June 14.

Every Chelsea academy graduate who appeared in their victorious Conference League campaign will receive a winners’ medal for helping the Blues make history in becoming the first club to win it all in Europe.
Though many of the starlets such as 16-year-old Reggie Walsh and Shim Mheuka, 17, were not in Wroclaw, Poland to see the 4-1 win over Real Betis which completed their collection of European trophies, they are set to get their reward upon returning to Cobham.
Chelsea received 50 medals in total from UEFA and other youngsters who contributed to the Conference League run included Samuel Rak-Sakyi, Genesis Antwi, Ato Ampah, Harrison Murray-Campbell and Kiano Dyer – all of whom were handed their debuts by Enzo Maresca. Chelsea used 36 players in total in the Conference League.
That is expected to include Joao Felix, Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga and Carney Chukwuemeka, despite them all departing the club on loan in the winter window.
It is not yet clear what will happen with those who appeared but then departed permanently, such as Harvey Vale, who signed for QPR, and Cesare Casadei, now at Torino.
After the playing squad get the majority of the 50 medals on offer, the others go to Maresca and his coaching staff, such as assistant Willy Caballero.
