Chelsea Clinches Historical European Cup Title in Conference League Final
Chelsea FC secured a historic victory in the Conference League final, defeating Betis Sevilla 4-1 at the Polish city of Breslau. With this triumph, the English club became the first team to win titles in all major European club competitions.
The Blues, hailing from the English Premier League, previously claimed Champions League titles in 2012 and 2021, Europa League titles in 2013 and 2019, the defunct European Cup Winners' Cup in 1971 and 1998, and UEFA Super Cup titles in 1998 and 2021.
Sevilla's Breslau loss marked the end of an impressive run for Spanish football. Since the 2001/02 season, a final involving a Spanish team in the Champions League, Europa League, or Conference League had not resulted in a Spanish victory for the first time.
In the initial stages, Sevilla played dominantly, taking the lead in the 9th minute through Abde Ezzalzouli. Despite their lead, they struggled to maintain their rhythm in the second half as Chelsea improved, sealing the victory through Enzo Fernández (65'), Nicolas Jackson (70'), Jadon Sancho (83'), and Moises Caicedo (90.+1).
Prior to the match, riots erupted in Breslau's streets, leading to the arrest of over 20 individuals. Police resorted to using stun grenades and water cannons to disperse unruly fans from both England and Spain, who had caused chaos in the city's market square.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk voiced strong condemnation against the violence, expressing gratitude towards the police for their timely intervention against the hooligans wearing Chelsea and Betis jerseys in Breslau. In response to the disturbances, he warned that the authorities would implement even stricter measures if necessary.

With this triumph, Chelsea FC has become the first team to win titles in all major European club competitions, including the Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, and the defunct European Cup.
