It was May 2001 when Valencia lost a Champions League final to Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout. After that night, various Spanish clubs played nine European finals and won every single one of them – until tonight! Chelsea not only have put an end to that sensational streak of La Liga teams in major European competitions, but also hammered Betis 4-1 to clinch a much-deserved UEFA Conference League title.Chelsea become the first team to win all four major European club trophies 🔵Champions League 🏆🏆Europa League 🏆🏆Cup Winners’ Cup 🏆🏆Conference League 🏆 pic.twitter.com/mTAtYffoja— B/R Football (@brfootball) May 28, 2025 Manuel Pellegrini’s green and whites were remarkable in the first half, which shocked Enzo Maresca and his blue gang, but the football game is played (at least) 90 minutes. And that other half was the time when everything collapsed for Betis.After trailing at halftime, the Blues mainly resurrected thanks to their impeccable all-rounder Cole Palmer, who proved his nickname Cold. Tonight, damn, he was Coldest! He directed a jaw-dropping comeback, as the Premier League side netted four times in 25 minutes on the wings of his two assists for a landslide victory.Cole Palmer is the MOTM. 💙💙💙 pic.twitter.com/byrYQ7Kpxj— CFC Pics (@Mohxmmad) May 28, 2025 Despite the odds that were so favourable for the Londoners, the La Liga team was eager to show who was the boss straight from the start. A patient yet high press on Chelsea’s backline was an almost palpable Pellegrini’s idea for this game, which paid off almost instantly. Los Verdiblancos stole the ball from Malo Gusto and, through Isco, quickly launched unmarked Ezzalzouli on the left flank. The Moroccan forward slotted it low into the far corner and Betis were in front after just nine minutes, 1-0!Thousands of Chelsea supporters were seen gutted in the stands as their counterparts dominated just like their players on the pitch. The Wroclaw arena transformed into a copy of Benito Villamarin stadium as if Betis were playing a home game.##NAJAVA_MECA_8952852##It was a clear and early sign that things were not going according to plan for the Premier League giants, who were completely toothless for most of the first half. Maresca’s main man, Palmer, seemed lost between the lines and no one could help him up front.On the other end, Ezzalzouli kept torturing Malo Gusto, who suffered immensely before Maresca subbed him off at halftime for Blues captain Reece James.The only good news for the team with blues shirts was the fact Antony was nowhere near his recent levels, reminding us of those sluggish performances while at Manchester United.Still, the match was unfolding brilliantly for Pellegrini’s lot, who controlled the rhythm all the way.##EDITORS_CHOICE##And then came the second half…Although Betis were more shy than before the break, their tonight’s rival seemed incapable of bouncing back from that deficit and the lack of passion. At least until Cole Palmer showed up and presented us again with a rare set of skills: forward, attacking midfielder, winger, playmaker—four in one. For a five-minute blitzkrieg that saw him almost singlehandedly put the Spaniards to the sword.When Chelsea needed them most, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez have STEPPED UP! pic.twitter.com/5P5369lXI4— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) May 28, 2025 It started in the 65th minute as he created just enough space for a lovely cross to the far post, where Enzo Fernandez – one of the shortest guys on the pitch – headed it home for much more than just an equalizer.It was a game-changer, the moment from which the entire match went the other way. It was blatantly clear that the see-saw changed sides, that the energy shifted towards Chelsea now, and that we could see a complete comeback before the 90th minute.That was a pessimistic judgement, as Maresca’s men struck again just five minutes later. Again, Palmer crossed it magnificently and Nicolas Jackson was there for a tap-in on the edge of the six-yard box, 2-1!NICOLAS JACKSON MAKES IT 2-1 CHELSEA! THEY’VE COMPLETELY TURNED THE FINAL AROUND!A SECOND ASSIST FOR COLE PALMER 🔥 pic.twitter.com/ebXY2EnXzm— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) May 28, 2025 Just like that, the tables were turned, the whole skirmish went upside down, and now, it was Betis without a breath, strength and idea how to get away from the sudden abyss they had fallen into.The last glimpse of hope disappeared when Jadon Sancho thumped the rival with a resolute shot, and Moises Caicedo put the cherry on the top inside the stoppage time for a brutal win, 4-1! Chelsea has become the first and only club to win all three major European titles (plus one extint) – Champions League, Europa League, Cup Winners’ Cup and Conference League.UEFA CONFERENCE LEAGUE – FINALWednesdayBetis – Chelsea 1-4 (1-0)/Ez Abde 9 – Enzo 65, Jackson 70, Sancho 83, Caicedo 90+1/
