The teams that remained as the best third-placed teams can no longer access lower competitions to fight for the championship with a second chance, which implies a new landscape for the participants. Despite having little time to adapt to his new team, Rodrigo Huescas had his first outstanding performance after playing seven matches in the Superliga and six in the Conference League, achieving the feat of scoring his first goal in Europe.
"Without a doubt, it would be a strong blow if they manage to eliminate the Blues, as it would ease the path, and besides, he could face his compatriot Heriberto Jurado, who is on the other side of the bracket," commented an expert regarding the next challenge for Huescas and his team. After scoring in the Conference League, the player also stood out for his fluency in English in the mixed zone, thus showing his adaptation to European football and his good humor.
With only one goal for his current team, Huescas has shown his great level and has responded positively, standing out among the Mexicans who were eliminated from European competitions. Arriving at Copenhagen from Cruz Azul with a value of 5 MDE, the Mexican player has been crucial in the qualification of FC Copenhagen to the knockout stage of the Conference League, scoring the winning goal in an exciting match.
After learning about his next opponent in the draw, which will be Chelsea, Huescas and his team will face a tough challenge against the only representative of the Premier League still in competition. The opportunity to showcase his talent at Stamford Bridge presents an exciting challenge for the Mexican forward, in a context where every match is crucial to advance in the tournament.
The new format of the Conference League, announced at the beginning of the season, has brought significant changes to the competition, eliminating the group stage and creating a more dynamic and competitive environment for the participating teams.
