Conference League: A Standout Stat for Every Team After the Quarter-Final Second Legs

The UEFA Conference League quarter-finals delivered a series of thrilling conclusions, with no team advancing by winning both legs. Now that the last eight have been decided, here’s an interesting stat from each of the eight competing squads after the return matches.

6 – Jagiellonia Bialystok’s pursuit of European glory for the 2024/25 season has come to an end, yet they can take immense pride in their achievements. This season, with eight wins in total, including qualifiers, they surpassed their previous record for continental successes. Notably, the Polish outfit finished their inaugural Conference League season unbeaten at home, with a solid record of four wins and two draws across six matches. Only Jagiellonia and Fiorentina among the quarter-finalists can boast such a feat.

14 – Real Betis are reveling in their most successful European campaign to date. Los Verdiblancos maintained their impressive form in 2025 with a draw in Poland, making them the first Spanish side to reach this stage of the Conference League. This marks Betis’ inaugural appearance in the semi-finals of a UEFA club competition, achieved in their 14th season of continental football.

8 – Fiorentina have advanced to the last four of the Conference League, becoming the only team in the competition’s short history to achieve this multiple times. Although it wasn’t their finest hour, La Viola managed to secure their progress against a determined Celje outfit. They have now successfully navigated all eight knockout rounds they’ve faced in the UECL proper, with the total climbing to 11 when preliminary rounds are included.

25 – Celje could be seen as the underdog story of this year’s Conference League. The Slovenian team delivered some impressive performances, reaching further than any club from their nation has ever ventured in UEFA competitions. They can now shift their focus to their domestic league and cup, with work still to be done there. In the UECL proper, they scored a total of 25 goals, just one fewer than the team that eliminated them, and outscoring two of the semi-finalists.

3 – Chelsea managed to squeeze through, but it was anything but straightforward. Few would have anticipated their defeat at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, which may indicate that even the tournament favourites have vulnerabilities. The Blues have endured a rough patch in home matches during this stage of European competitions, losing their last three quarter-final games at Stamford Bridge. They also suffered a defeat at home in their 2020/21 clash against Porto, which was contested at a neutral venue.

5 – Legia Warszawa fought valiantly in what was always going to be a challenging contest. Their Conference League campaign has come to an end, but they can hold their heads high after an impressive victory on the night. The Polish side finally claimed a win on English soil at the fifth attempt, having previously recorded no victories from four matches (0-2-2).

9 – Rapid Wien will regret the opportunity that slipped through their fingers, a sentiment that is completely understandable. The red card issued to Mamadou Sangare just seven minutes in put them in a difficult position. Despite scoring once, their challenge ultimately fell apart during extra time, resulting in their defeat and ending a remarkable nine-game unbeaten streak at home in Europe.

4 – Djurgarden pulled off an impressive comeback in Austria, making the most of their chances. Some might argue they complicated things for themselves, needing an additional 30 minutes to secure the win. Nevertheless, the Swedes can celebrate their achievement, as winning 4-1 away in a continental quarter-final is no small feat. Djurgarden have performed quite well on the road this season; mirroring their success from two seasons ago, they have won four away matches in the UECL, qualifiers included. In the 2024/25 competition, they boast a record of three wins, one draw, and one loss from the league phase onwards.
