Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was “not happy” that opponents Real Betis got two days of extra preparation for the Conference League final.
La Liga accepted a request from Betis to bring their final league match against Valencia – originally scheduled for Sunday – forward to Friday evening.
Chelsea, by contrast, travelled to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, three days before the final.
Maresca said: “I’m not happy, 100%, you cannot allow another team 48 hours more when you play a European final.
“[Either we play Friday] or they play Sunday like us. I don’t know if it is from La Liga, the Premier League or Uefa, but if you ask people in this room if it is normal to play a final where another team has 48 hours more to prepare, it is not normal.”
