In 2025, Real Betis clashed with Chelsea in the final of the UEFA Conference League.
The Blues entered the match on a high note, having secured a spot in the upcoming Champions League through a successful Premier League run.
Betis aimed to lift a significant European trophy for the first time, having seen their domestic competitors Sevilla achieve considerable success in the Europa League.
Here’s a recap of the final showdown.
Who triumphed in the UEFA Conference League final 2025?
Chelsea emerged victorious in the UEFA Conference League final, overturning an early deficit to win 4-1 in Wroclaw, Poland.
Abde Ezzalzouli put Manuel Pellegrini’s squad ahead with a well-deserved opening goal before halftime. However, Enzo Fernandez equalized for Chelsea in the 65th minute, heading in from a Cole Palmer assist.
Palmer then assisted Nicolas Jackson, giving Chelsea the lead, and Jadon Sancho secured the triumph with a goal just seven minutes before full-time. Moises Caicedo added a final touch with a deflected goal in injury time.
This victory established Chelsea as the first club to win all three major trophies: the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
