Chelsea Wins Conference League, First Club with All Major UEFA Trophies

Chelsea made history by becoming the first club to win all four major European trophies after a 4-1 comeback victory over Real Betis in the UEFA Europa Conference League final in Wroclaw. Despite falling behind early due to a goal from Betis's Abde Ezzalzouli, Chelsea’s head coach Enzo Maresca made key tactical substitutions at halftime, including bringing on Reece James and repositioning Cole Palmer, who played a pivotal role with two assists. Enzo Fernandez equalized with a header, followed by Nicolas Jackson’s go-ahead goal, and later goals from Jadon Sancho and Moisés Caicedo sealed the emphatic win. Betis dominated the first half with an aggressive pressing style orchestrated by veteran coach Manuel Pellegrini, but Chelsea’s superior class and tactical adjustments in the second half allowed them to control the match. This victory not only secured Chelsea’s first European trophy since 2022 but also underscored Maresca’s impact in his debut season as manager. The match highlighted Chelsea’s resilience and tactical flexibility, as well as their historic achievement in European football.
