Chelsea, Benfica set for Europa League final


After a lengthy campaign, Chelsea and Benfica have survived and will square off in Wednesday’s UEFA Europa League final in Amsterdam.
So the question now is: how will they react to such adversity and the sudden realization the championship is lost after having things go their way all season long? The chance to make good is staring them in the face. It won’t be easy of course, but victory would also help erase the memories of back-to-back losses to Chelsea in the quarter-finals of last year’s Champions League. It could be the last opportunity they have for a while, as well. Benfica is a selling club and the likes of Lima, Oscar Cardozo and Nemanja Matic could all be sold. It might be now or never for Benfica.
