Chelsea Completes Historic Comeback to Win Conference League in Poland

Chelsea mounted a remarkable comeback to defeat Real Betis 4-1 in the UEFA Conference League final in Wroclaw, Poland, securing the trophy and making history as the first club to win all five major European continental trophies. Betis took an early lead in the 9th minute through Abde Ezzalzouli, assisted by Isco, capitalizing on a Chelsea defensive error. Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca's halftime personnel and tactical changes, including replacing Malo Gusto with Reece James and giving Cole Palmer a freer role, sparked a dominant second-half performance. Palmer played a pivotal role with two key crosses leading to goals by Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson, turning the match in Chelsea's favor. Late goals from Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo sealed the emphatic victory, marking Chelsea as only the second Premier League team to win the Conference League after West Ham United. The win underscored Chelsea's resilience and strategic adaptability on the European stage.
