In a momentous night at Wrocław Stadium, Chelsea Football Club etched their name into European football history with a commanding 4–1 victory over Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League final. This triumph not only secured their first Conference League title but also completed their collection of all four major European trophies, the Champions League, Europa League, Cup Winners’ Cup, and now the Conference League.
Real Betis took an early lead in the 9th minute through Abde Ezzalzouli. However, Chelsea responded emphatically in the second half.
65′: Enzo Fernández headed in the equalizer from a Cole Palmer cross.
70′: Nicolas Jackson converted another Palmer assist to put Chelsea ahead.
83′: Jadon Sancho curled in a third goal.
90+’: Moisés Caicedo sealed the victory with a stoppage-time goal.
Cole Palmer’s instrumental performance by providing two assists in quick succession earned him the Player of the Match award. This victory marked the first trophy under manager Enzo Maresca and the first silverware in the Clearlake Capital ownership era. Chelsea’s successful campaign in the Conference League earned them approximately €8.1 million in prize money.
Although winning the Conference League typically grants qualification to the next season’s Europa League, Chelsea had already secured a Champions League spot by finishing fourth in the Premier League.
