Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has congratulated his former club following their impressive 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday night in Wroclaw, Poland.

The Blues came from behind to secure their first trophy since 2021, with Enzo Fernández, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Moisés Caicedo all finding the net after Abde Ezzalzouli had given the Spanish side an early lead.

Mikel, who spent over a decade at Chelsea and won both the Champions League and Premier League with the club, took to Instagram to celebrate the achievement, writing: "Mission accomplished, congratulations to all Chelsea."

Historic Achievement for Chelsea

The victory marks a significant milestone for Chelsea, as they have now won all five major UEFA men's competitions. This comprehensive triumph also secures their place in next season's Champions League, complementing their fourth-place finish in the Premier League.

The Conference League success represents Chelsea's first piece of silverware in three years and signals a potential return to form for the London club under their current management.

Mikel's celebration carries particular significance given his illustrious history with Chelsea. The former Super Eagles midfielder was a key figure at Stamford Bridge for over 10 years, during which time he accumulated numerous accolades including the Champions League trophy in 2012.

The convincing manner of Chelsea's victory, overcoming an early deficit to dominate their LaLiga opponents, has been celebrated by fans and former players alike as the club looks to build momentum heading into next season's Champions League campaign.
