Chelsea complete historic UEFA clean sweep with Conference League comeback win over Real Betis
Chelsea made history by becoming the first club to win all five major UEFA competitions, securing a commanding 4-1 comeback win over Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League final.
Real Betis began the game brightly, brimming with confidence thanks to their confirmed Europa League qualification through La Liga.
Their dominance paid off early, as Abde Ezzalzouli opened the scoring inside 10 minutes. The Spanish side nearly doubled their lead shortly after, but Marc Bartra’s effort was tipped over, and Johnny Cardoso squandered a great chance from close range.
Despite Betis’s early superiority, Chelsea began to find their rhythm before halftime. Although they struggled to carve out clear-cut chances, they remained within touching distance heading into the break.
The introduction of Reece James in the second half injected renewed energy into the Chelsea ranks. The breakthrough came in the 65th minute as Enzo Fernandez glanced home the equaliser. Five minutes later, Chelsea completed the turnaround with Nicolas Jackson finishing off a slick move to put the Blues ahead.
Chelsea remained in control and sealed the win late when Jadon Sancho rifled in a superb strike to extend the lead. In stoppage time, Moises Caicedo added further gloss with a deflected effort to make it 4-1.
It marked a fifth straight European final victory for the London club, crowning a dominant second-half performance and a historic achievement for Enzo Maresca’s side.
