Chelsea Football Club has etched its name in the history books by becoming the first team to win all four major UEFA competitions. This historic feat was sealed with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the UEFA Europa Conference League final.
Having already claimed titles in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and the now-defunct UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, Chelsea’s latest success completes a rare and unmatched collection in European football.
This triumph not only adds to the club’s prestigious trophy cabinet but also sets a groundbreaking milestone in the annals of continental football.
Match Summary:
The final at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on May 28 began with high drama as Real Betis struck early. In the 9th minute, former Barcelona winger Abde Ezzalzouli latched onto a precise assist from Isco to give the Spanish side an early lead, igniting the home crowd.
Chelsea, however, remained unfazed by the early setback. The Blues gradually settled into the game, asserting control through sustained pressure and dominant possession. Their persistence paid off in the 65th minute when Enzo Fernández rose to meet a pinpoint cross from Cole Palmer, heading home the equalizer.
Momentum quickly shifted in Chelsea’s favor. Just five minutes later, Palmer turned provider again, threading a perfect pass to Nicolas Jackson, who calmly finished to put the Blues 2–1 ahead.
The floodgates opened from there. Substitute Jadon Sancho added a third in the 83rd minute with a dazzling solo run and clinical finish from a tight angle. In stoppage time, Moisés Caicedo capped off the night with a thunderous long-range strike, sealing a dominant 4-1 win and a historic European triumph for Chelsea.
