Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has urged his team to approach their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign with full confidence, stating that belief in their abilities is key to securing victory in the competition.
Ahead of Chelsea’s Round of 16 first-leg clash with Copenhagen on Thursday, March 6, the Spanish international emphasised the importance of self-assurance for Enzo Maresca’s side.
Cucurella believes that the team, with its impressive squad and talent, has the potential to go all the way in the tournament.
“For sure. Chelsea are a top club. We have top players with skills and ability, We need to feel we can win the competition, believe we are ready and can do it. We go with all we have to win it.” Cucurella said in an interview with the media.

The Blues, who have previously lifted numerous prestigious trophies, including the UEFA Champions League, have yet to win the Europa Conference League — a fact that makes this campaign even more significant for Cucurella and his teammates.
“If we win everything, it’s more easy, We have a good opportunity, we play tomorrow against a tough team. If we win this competition, we have the opportunity to bring a trophy. It would be the first time Chelsea have won this trophy. It could be special. It’s a big opportunity to show we are ready.” he continued.
As Chelsea face a formidable opponent in Copenhagen, Cucurella’s words highlight the determination within the squad to push forward and capture another European trophy.
With the competition still wide open, the Blues are hoping to build on their previous successes and add the Europa Conference League to their ever-growing trophy cabinet.
