Chelsea's journey in the UEFA Conference League continued despite a 2-1 defeat to Legia Warsaw at Stamford Bridge, which allowed them to progress to the semifinals with a 4-2 aggregate win. The match, however, left fans booing the team off the pitch, reflecting the frustration with their performance.

Legia Warsaw opened the scoring early in the match, with Tomas Pekhart converting a penalty after being fouled by Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen in the 10th minute. This goal put Chelsea on the back foot as they sought to respond to Legia's aggressive start.

Despite the early setback, Chelsea managed to equalize just before halftime when Marc Cucurella tapped in a cross from Jadon Sancho, marking his fourth goal of the year. This moment briefly lifted the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, alleviating some of the pressures building around the team.

However, Chelsea's struggles persisted in the second half. Steve Kapuadi restored Legia's lead in the 53rd minute, scoring from close range after a corner, which reignited hopes for the Polish side. Chelsea continued to face criticism, especially after the referee denied them a potential second penalty for a foul on Luquinhas, further frustrating the home crowd.

Chelsea's head coach, Enzo Maresca, acknowledged the team's lack of respect for their opponents, suggesting complacency may have affected their performance following a strong first-leg victory. Captain Reece James echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that they may have underestimated Legia.

As Chelsea prepares for their semifinal against Djurgardens, they will need to address the concerns raised by their recent performances. While they have advanced in the tournament, the lackluster display against Legia highlights the need for improvement as they aim to regain confidence and form for the remainder of the season.

Moving forward, Chelsea must find a way to engage with their supporters and show the quality expected of them in the biggest matches. The upcoming fixtures will be crucial for Maresca and the squad as they seek to turn the tide and restore faith among their fans.
