Chelsea are awaiting confirmation of their potential path to the UEFA Europa Conference League final, with the draw for the next rounds of the competition set to take place on 21 February.

What began as a promising campaign for the Blues has since faltered, with a dip in form seeing them exit both domestic cup competitions and fall out of the Premier League’s top four.

However, their European performances have been outstanding. Enzo Maresca’s side won all six of their league phase matches, scoring an impressive 26 goals along the way.

With Chelsea now out of contention for domestic silverware, lifting the Conference League trophy represents their last chance at securing silverware this season. A victory would also guarantee them a place in next season’s UEFA Europa League, while offering the opportunity to become the first club to win all three of UEFA’s major competitions.

Who Could Chelsea Face in the Europa Conference League Last 16?

Having finished first in the league phase, Chelsea will face either Real Betis or FC Copenhagen in the last 16.

Real Betis, who now feature Manchester United forward Antony in their squad, overcame Gent in the play-off round, while FC Copenhagen staged a comeback to defeat FC Heidenheim.

The second legs of the Europa Conference League play-off ties will be played on Thursday, 20 February.

The draw for the round of 16 will then take place on Friday, 21 February, at 13:00 GMT.
