As Chelsea prepare to face Legia Warsaw in the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has issued a clear warning to his teammates: *“Expect fire from the stands.”*
Recalling a 1-0 loss at Legia during his Leicester City days in the 2021/22 Europa League, Dewsbury-Hall described the Polish side’s home atmosphere as *“hostile, but unforgettable.”* He emphasized that the passionate crowd at the Estadi de l’Exèrcit Polonès can lift the hosts and rattle even experienced sides.
While Chelsea are favorites to win the tournament, Dewsbury-Hall urged focus, reminding the squad that hostile away nights can be their toughest tests. A victory would not only boost the club’s chances of winning silverware this season under Enzo Maresca, but also edge them closer to a historic milestone — becoming the first English club to win every major UEFA competition.
*“That alone is enough to keep us pushing,”* he said.
