It was the midfielder’s first-half strike that won us the game on the night, but in truth, our emphatic 4-1 first-leg victory helped give Enzo Maresca’s side a solid foundation to build on heading back to Stamford Bridge after our trip to Stockholm.

Dewsbury-Hall is pleased to have helped Chelsea into another major European final, and the 26-year-old now has his eyes set on overcoming Real Betis in the final and claiming the trophy.

‘It’s amazing to be in the final,’ Kiernan said. ‘We set our sights at the start of the season to go as far as we could in this tournament and it has been a long couple of months, but now we have one more game to go and hopefully we can lift that trophy.

‘It would mean everything to lift the trophy. A lot of people said we should at the start of the season, but I think if we do, we deserve a lot of credit. I know what football is like, it's not easy.

‘We have had pressure from the first match day, we have been professional and dedicated, and now we have one more game.’

Having received the ball from Tyrique George, Dewsbury-Hall arrived in the box and curled his effort into the bottom corner, a delightful finish for his fourth in the competition this season.

On his strike, he said: 'They play with a low block but thankfully I saw a bit of space, Tyrique [George] played me through with a lovely ball, I showed a little bit of composure and it was nice to get the goal.’

The Englishman was also pleased to see plenty of young talent out on the pitch and has enjoyed helping the likes of Reggie Walsh after the 16-year-old made his first start for Chelsea against Djurgarden.

‘I'm just here to try and guide the young players,’ he continued. 'Reggie Walsh is 16 and he was fantastic and composed. My job is just to tell them to play the game that got them there. You saw that with the players that played, very composed, very calm. That's a credit to the academy.’
