Chelsea produced a stunning second-half comeback to defeat Real Betis 4-1 in the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night in Wroclaw, Poland, completing their full set of major European titles.
Despite trailing 1-0 at half-time, the Blues roared back with a dominant second-half performance, featuring goals from Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Moises Caicedo.
The win makes Chelsea the first club in history to win all four major UEFA men’s competitions: the Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup, and Conference League.
Real Betis took a surprise lead in the first half, capitalising on defensive uncertainty. But the game turned after the break, with Chelsea shifting into top gear. Fernandez’s equaliser just five minutes into the second half opened the floodgates. Jackson then added a clinical finish before Sancho and Caicedo sealed the victory with stylish strikes.
The night also belonged to Cole Palmer, whose game-changing presence and creative brilliance drew widespread praise from pundits. “Cole Palmer is an absolute genius,” one analyst remarked during the post-match analysis. “He dictated the tempo, found pockets of space, and changed the entire rhythm of the match.”
This triumph brings Chelsea’s total European trophy count to nine and caps a turbulent season on a historic high.
