Wroclaw – Chelsea cruised to a commanding 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League final at the Tarczynski Arena. While both teams appeared evenly matched on paper, Chelsea delivered a clinical second-half performance to secure their first European trophy since 2021.
Betis struck first through a stunning goal from Ezzalzouli, assisted by veteran playmaker Isco Alarcón. The first half remained tightly contested, but the momentum shifted dramatically after the break.
In the 65th minute, Cole Palmer set up Enzo Fernández to level the score. Palmer struck again just five minutes later, providing a precise assist for Nicolas Jackson to make it 2-1. Chelsea’s dominance continued as Jadon Sancho fired in a spectacular long-range effort, and Moisés Caicedo sealed the win with a thunderous strike in stoppage time. Cole Palmer was the highest rated player this match.
Under new manager Enzo Maresca, Chelsea looked revitalized, showing tactical discipline and attacking flair. The comprehensive win capped off a promising campaign, marking a triumphant return to European glory. Meanwhile, Real Betis were left disappointed after a strong start that quickly unraveled.
