Chelsea Wins UEFA Conference League Completing Major European Trophy Set

Chelsea FC has completed a historic feat by winning the UEFA Conference League final, thereby becoming the first club to secure every major European trophy. This milestone caps off a remarkable European trophy cabinet including victories in the Cup Winners’ Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, and the Champions League, with memorable wins against teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. The 2024–25 season under coach Enzo Maresca saw Chelsea lift the Conference League trophy, signaling progress despite a challenging mid-season; standout player Moisés Caicedo earned the Men's Player of the Season award for his consistent and impactful performances. Meanwhile, Chelsea appears close to resolving the uncertain situation with Joao Felix, whose return to Benfica is likely through a loan deal, reflecting Chelsea's intent to move on from the player after a difficult stint. Felix’s preference to remain in Europe and Benfica’s interest suggest a return to his former club could rejuvenate his career and alleviate Chelsea’s squad and financial concerns. These developments underscore Chelsea’s ongoing evolution on and off the pitch as they build on their rich European legacy while managing current squad dynamics.
