Chelsea produced a second-half masterclass to defeat Real Betis 4–1 in the UEFA Conference League final on May 28, 2025, at Wrocław Stadium in Poland, clinching their first title in the competition and becoming the first club in history to win all five major UEFA trophies.
Despite dominating possession in the first half (63%), Chelsea trailed 1–0 at the break after Abde Ezzalzouli gave Betis the lead in the 22nd minute. The turning point came after halftime, when head coach Enzo Maresca made key substitutions—including the introduction of captain Reece James—that reinvigorated the Blues. Cole Palmer was instrumental in the comeback, delivering two crucial assists: first to Enzo Fernández, who equalized in the 65th minute, and then to Nicolas Jackson, who put Chelsea ahead five minutes later.
With Real Betis struggling to respond, Jadon Sancho extended the lead in the 82nd minute before Moisés Caicedo added a fourth goal in stoppage time, sealing an emphatic win.
Palmer was named Player of the Match for his creativity and vision, while Fernández, Jackson, Sancho, and Caicedo all played decisive roles in Chelsea’s triumph.
The result not only secured Chelsea’s first-ever Conference League title but also etched their name in history as the only club to have won the Champions League, Europa League, Cup Winners’ Cup, Super Cup, and now the Conference League. The dominant performance highlighted Chelsea’s attacking depth and tactical adaptability under Maresca, who delivered a European trophy in his first season in charge.
