Blues can add to Benfica pain with Europa success
Benfica v Chelsea
Rafael Benitez will be able to walk out of Stamford Bridge with his head held high this summer - and a Europa League winner's medal around his neck.
When Rafa replaced Roberto Di Matteo the Blues were effectively out of the title race and the Champions League. The consolation prizes would have been a top-four finish and a tilt at the Europa League so my old boss can be incredibly proud of what he's achieved.
Chelsea are playing well enough to challenge again domestically next season and are certainly playing well enough to see off Benfica, who are reeling from Saturday's painful defeat at arch-rivals Porto.
Recommendation
Chelsea
