In Wednesday's final in Wrocław, Chelsea defeated Betis Seville 4-1. The first half challenged expectations that Maresca's players would lift the cup. The turning point came with the strategic changes made by coach Enzo Maresca, allowing the team to score four goals in the second half.
Chelsea became the first club to win all three major European trophies: the Champions League, the Europa League, and now the Conference League. Nonetheless, the club's ambitions aim higher, with a continued focus on triumph in the Champions League.
Outstanding Player
Cole Palmer was named the best player of the final, with his play and two assists being pivotal in turning the game around. His performance was lauded by former Chelsea player, Joe Cole, as "absolute genius."
Victory in the Conference League is just the beginning of the journey for Chelsea. The club, which has invested a billion pounds, aims not only to win smaller competitions but above all to dominate European football.
