Chelsea overcame a slow start to beat Real Betis 4-1 in the UEFA Conference League final on May 28, securing their first trophy under manager Enzo Maresca and new ownership. Despite falling behind early, Chelsea rallied through standout performances from Cole Palmer—who assisted goals by Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson—before Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo sealed the win.
The triumph in Wroclaw completes Chelsea’s sweep of all major European titles, making them the first club to win the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and Cup Winners’ Cup.
Maresca, in his debut season, called the win a “starting point” for building a winning mentality. After a mixed campaign, Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League, earning a return to the Champions League next season.
While fans debated the Conference League’s prestige, the consensus was clear: silverware signals progress, and optimism is returning to Stamford Bridge. Up next—Club World Cup action in the U.S.
