Although suspended for doping, Mykhailo Mudryk traveled to Poland and hoped to be awarded, like the rest of the teammates from Chelsea, after the triumph of the final with Betis (4-1).
Mudryk, 24, is currently suspended after being positively tested for the banned Meldonium substance in November last year. However, he moved to Wroclaw, for the final, on his own!
On the day of the final Chelsea won in front of Betis (4-1), he was filmed in a local restaurant. Moreover, he wore a jacket with the emblem of the London club. The English journalists questioned the manager Enzo Maresca about Mudryk, but he seemed not to know that his player was at Wroclaw.
Chelsea forbade the suspended Mykhailo Mudryk to participate
“To be honest, I simply … is it here or comes? So, it's here. I'm glad Misha is here. I don't know, I just said that. I'm glad Misha is here,” commented the Italian, opposite technician.

At the award ceremony, however, Mudryk was not seen with the teammates from Chelsea. And not at the holiday that followed. The Sun's tabloid found out he was hoping to receive a medal, but the club forbidden him to participate in festivities, even if he played 6 matches in Conference League, scoring 3 goals, in the first part of the season.
Chelsea overturned the situation on the table after the break
Betis made a very good first half, on Wednesday night, against Chelsea, and led to the break through the goal scored by Ezzalzouli, in the 9th minute. But after the resumption, the team prepared by Enzo Maresca climbed at a higher speed and pointed out four times.
Enzo Fernandez (65), Jackson (70), Sancho (83) and Căicedo (90+1) scored for the Londones, who awarded their trophy. Chelsea now has all the continental cups in the showcase, after earning the Champions League and Europa League.
