• Chelsea beat Forest to finish fourth - now can they add another trophy to the cabinet?

  It was never, ever in doubt...Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Luke Bosher and Liam Twomey alongside him to wrap up the 1-0 final day victory over Nottingham Forest to seal Chelsea's participation in next season's Champions League.Liam was on hand to soak up the atmosphere at the final whistle - and was in the room as Enzo Maresca silenced the haters with a... kind of F-bomb?!! We reflect on their defensive steeliness, ability to get over the line and dig deep and banish their poor away form to get back at Europe's top table after a two-year absence. Then, it's all eyes on Wrocław as we preview Wednesday evening's Europa Conference League final showdown with Real Betis. Who makes the starting XI given there's been so much chop and change between the league and cup sides? And how important is it for the Blues to finish the season on a high by adding this trophy to their cabinet?We'll be back with our post-final round up on Thursday!

Who will Enzo Maresca trust up top? And what are the ramifications if they fall short? Plus, we've got a quick look ahead to next week's Conference League final, following the midweek pre-match media day which saw the boss express his frustration at the scheduling and confirm that Filip Jörgensen WILL start in goal.And of course - we've got a quiz with a Forest flavour.We'll be back on Monday to hopefully be celebrating Chelsea's safe passage into next season's Champions League AND a look ahead to Wednesday's final.HOST: Matt Davies-AdamsWITH: Luke Bosher, Simon Johnson and Nick MillerPRODUCER: Lucy Oliva Hosted on Acast.
