Former Chelsea defender Graeme Le Saux feels that it would be a "amazing achievement" for Rafael Benitez and the club to win the Europa League this season.

Former Chelsea defender Graeme Le Saux feels that it would be a major accomplishment for interim manager Rafael Benitez and the club to win the Europa League this season.

The Blues reached the final after beating Basel 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, securing a 5-2 aggregate win, and they will now play Benfica in the final in Amsterdam.

Le Saux told the Daily Star: "The opportunity to become the first club to hold both trophies in the same season would be an amazing achievement.

"And to be one of only three other clubs to hold all four major trophies would be marvellous and should motivate the players."

Chelsea face Manchester United later today at Old Trafford in their Premier League clash.
