'They shouldn't be in it' - are Chelsea too big for Conference League?

Chelsea broke a Conference League record with their demolition of Noah – and left observers wondering what they are even doing in the tournament.

The Blues have improved significantly under Enzo Maresca from the side which sneaked into Uefa’s third tournament at the end of last season.

And even though they are playing their second string in the tournament – with star player Cole Palmer not even registered – they are blowing everyone away.

Thursday's 8-0 victory broke the previous Conference League record win - held jointly by three teams - by two goals.
