Chelsea clinch the 2025 UEFA Conference League crown with a stunning 4-1 fight-back against Real Betis at Wrocław Stadium on 28 May 2025, becoming the first club to win every major UEFA men’s club competition. Chelsea complete European clean sweep Trailing to an early Abde Ezzalzouli strike, Enzo Maresca’s side roared back after the break. Enzo Fernández levelled on 65’ before Nicolas Jackson, substitute Jadon Sancho and Moisés Caicedo struck in rapid succession to seal the Blues’ debut Conference League title and complete their clean sweep of Champions League, Europa League, Cup Winners’ Cup and now Conference League silverware. Betis strike first but fade Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis looked on course for a historic first European trophy when Ezzalzouli converted Cedric Bakambu’s cross inside nine minutes. The Andalusian club, playing their first continental final, controlled possession early but failed to capitalise on further chances, registering just three shots on target all night. Palmer pulls the strings Playmaker Cole Palmer earned Player of the Match honours after dictating tempo between the lines and assisting Jackson’s go-ahead goal. The 22-year-old’s vision repeatedly unlocked Betis’ high defensive line, while captain Fernández’s long-range equaliser shifted momentum irrevocably. What the victory means for Chelsea • First English winners of the Conference League • Eighth different European trophy in club history • Automatic berth in next season’s Europa League despite their Premier League position • Positive statement for Maresca’s rebuild after a transitional domestic campaign Key match stats Possession: Chelsea 63 % | Betis 37 % Shots on target: Chelsea 6 | Betis 3 Attendance: 39,754 at the 42,771-capacity Wrocław Stadium in Poland Quotes from the tunnel • Enzo Maresca: “This squad showed character. Completing the European set is a milestone our supporters will never forget.” • Cole Palmer: “Lifting a trophy in my first season back in blue is unbelievable. We want to build on this.” What’s next? Chelsea head into the summer with continental silverware and momentum before an expanded FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, while Betis will look to regroup for another European push via La Liga. Fans can relive the final’s key moments on UEFA.tv, with full highlights and behind-the-scenes footage expected later today.
