Chelsea will start favorites when the English Premier League side take on Benfica in the Europa League final at the Amsterdam Arena Wednesday.
The Blues have overcome the disappointment of being knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages by reaching another European final, and could now be the first team ever to win the Champions League and the Europa League in successive seasons.
Benfica, though, will not make it easy on Rafa Benitez's side and the Spaniard insisted he will not be taking the Portuguese team lightly.
"Jorge Jesus is a good manager, they are a good team and they have experience in Europe," Benitez said. In a final it is 50-50 and we will see what happens. We can make changes, they can make changes but in the end it depends on the players on the pitch.
"We can be ready but still something can change the game. It will be an interesting final for everyone, they have experience and hopefully we can use our experience too.
"A European final is massive. Maybe you can score an early goal and change, or concede three and have to change at halftime. You have to have confidence and belief you can do well. Your team has to have the same feeling, and you have to see what happens but it depends on the other team too.
"This is the final and I want to win. If we can do it I will be really proud because we worked so hard in difficult circumstances. You have to give credit to all the people involved, the staff and the players."
Chelsea will be without influential playmaker Eden Hazard, who has been ruled out after picking up an injury in the weekend's Premier League game against Aston Villa. Ryan Bertrand is also ruled out, while John Terry and John Obi Mikel are unlikely to feature as well. Demba Ba, of course, is ineligible.
Benfica have no new injury concerns, and Jesus will put out his best XI as they look to create an upset.
