Chelsea Becomes First-Ever Club In Football History To Complete 'European Collection'

With their UEFA Europa Conference League win, Chelsea have now become the first-ever club to win all the European trophies. Read below for details.

Chelsea write yet another legend in their storied chapter of football, as the London-based club becomes the first-ever team to win all the available European trophies.

Previously the winners of UEFA Champions League (2012, 2021), UEFA Europa League (2019), UEFA Super Cup (2021), 'The Blues' played their first-ever UEFA Europa Conference League Final on Wednesday, as they took on Spanish outfit Real Betis.

The Premier League giants won the summit clash 4-1 to complete a predigree of European trophies, as goals from Enzo Fernandez, Nicholas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Moises Caicedo completed a terrific turnaround, after the club produced a dismal showing in first-half, where Real Betis took the lead, thanks to a moment of magic from Isco, who provided a diagonal pass to Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, who then when on to score a beautiful goal via a left-footed shot inside the box.

Chelsea have also won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1971, 1998) but the competition was discontinued one year prior to the turn of the millenium. 

Enzo Maresca's First Words After UECL Triumph With Chelsea

"Hopefully it can be a starting point to build a winner mentality. You need to win games, you need to win competitions. And for sure, the trophy we won tonight is going to make us better."

"But also, I’m very proud about the path or the journey we have done in the Premier League. But for me, it’s the most difficult competition in the world. You have to be consistent in 38 games. And these players, they showed."

"That’s why after Nottingham Forest, my outburst was a little bit exaggerated. But the reason why is just because in 38 games, you need to be consistent. And with the youngest squad in the history of the Premier League, it’s something unbelievable.”
