While THELiga allowed Betis has bring their game Before, THE First League mandates that all matches In THE final round be plays simultaneously has preserve competitive integrity among teams chasing European qualification Or struggle relegation.
Far from the anger of the programs, Chelsea remained struck by an injury concerns. Christopher Nkunku And Marc Guiu are both back training but can not be adjust In time.

Chelsea European hope following season hinge on THE following little days. A high-five finishing In THE First League would be secure Champion League qualification.
Otherwise, A earn In THE Conference League final would be earn them A place In THE Europa League. If they autumn short In both Scenarios, They could find themselves in the third level competition in the next quarter.
