🟢⚪️Real Betis will play their first ever European final against Chelsea, out to win all four major Euro honours. Master versus apprentice - as Manuel Pellegrini faces Enzo Maresca. Great story and probably the two best teams go up against each other in Poland.

Maresca admitted he was out a little late for his press conference as he was glued to the last few minutes of the Real Betis match against Fiorentina.

Maresca on Reggie Walsh: "I like Reggie, I love Reggie, as he fits my system so perfectly. He is only 16 but he is asking for the ball, is so good on the ball, he has to continue studying, go to school, that's important but he is a good player."

Maresca on his connection to Real Betis through his great spell at rivals Sevilla: "I met my wife in Seville, my first son was born in Seville but for sure I want to win this trophy for the fans." Again calls Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini his "professional dad".
