Chelsea are through to the UEFA Conference League semi-finals on despite a 2-1 home defeat by Legia Warsaw. The 4-2 aggregate win was enough for a place in the last four .
Chelsea went 1-0 down to a 10th minute penalty before Marc Cucurella equalized at close-range. French defender Steve Kapuadi put the Poles ahead again in the 53rd minute with what proved to be the winner on the night.
Legia had a lively following at Stamford Bridge with flares and shirtless chanting from around 1,000 clearly delighted fans.
Thanks to their 3-0 win in the reverse fixture in Poland a week ago Chelsea however will next face Sweden’s Djurgardens, who thumped 10-man Rapid Vienna 4-1 away in extra-time their second leg.
Chelsea’s home defeat will not sit well with the fans, as Legia Warsaw are currently fifth in the Polish Ekstraklasa,.
But Chelsea remain favourites to win the third tier of European football, joining the likes of Roma, West Ham and Olympiakos as winners of the competition.
