Chelsea overcame an early deficit to comprehensively defeat Real Betis 4-1 in the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday night, adding another European trophy to their illustrious cabinet.
Despite entering the match as heavy favorites, the Blues found themselves trailing early when Abde Ezzalzouli converted a chance created by Isco, who found space inside the Chelsea penalty area to set up his teammate.
However, Enzo Maresca's side demonstrated their resilience and quality after the break, completely dominating the second half with a four-goal blitz that overwhelmed their Spanish opponents.
Captain Enzo Fernandes initiated the comeback with a well-placed header to level the score. The Premier League side then took the lead when Cole Palmer provided an assist for Nicolas Jackson, who headed Chelsea in front.
The Blues continued their relentless attack with Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo both finding the net to complete the 4-1 rout and secure the trophy in emphatic fashion.
Historic Achievement for Chelsea
With this victory, Chelsea have etched their name in football history as the first club to complete the trifecta of European trophies – having previously won both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.
The triumph caps off a successful season for Maresca's team, who had already secured Champions League qualification for next season with a top-four finish in the Premier League last weekend.
This Conference League victory provides tangible evidence of the progress made under Maresca's leadership in his first season at Stamford Bridge, delivering silverware to complement their domestic achievements.
