Chelsea Wins Conference League, First Club to Claim All UEFA Trophies

Chelsea made history by winning the Europa Conference League final against Real Betis with a 4-1 comeback victory, becoming the first team to win all major UEFA tournaments, including the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and the now-defunct Cup Winners' Cup. Despite trailing 1-0 at halftime, Chelsea surged in the second half with key contributions from Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Moises Caicedo. Captain Reece James, who came off the bench after being omitted from the starting lineup, emphasized the importance of this victory and urged the team to continue their progress as they prepare to compete in the Champions League next season. James acknowledged the disappointment of not starting but highlighted his professionalism and readiness to support the team when called upon. The win ended a streak of 27 consecutive finals victories by Spanish teams across various competitions, underscoring Chelsea's resurgence on the European stage. Young players like Levi Colwill also contributed off the bench, signaling a promising future for Chelsea under manager Enzo Maresca.
