  • What's next for Chelsea

    Chelsea will probably be eyeing up another exciting transfer window as finishing in that top 5 in the league could attract some big names.

    Do Chelsea have it in them to be competing again at a top level next year?

    A few transfers are definitely needed in their defensive areas.

    Maresca and Chelsea definitely slowly getting back up there after a few disappointing seasons for Chelsea fans.

    However, the bad times haven't lasted long for Chelsea as they seem to be getting back on their perch with a European trophy and Champions League finish in the league.

  • More match reaction from Enzo

    "In the first half, we approached the game in the wrong way, I expected the game in the wrong way.

    "I expected it a little bit because for two days the happiness was a little bit too much after Nottingham Forest.

    "You go all season waiting, waiting.

    "We struggled a little bit with that, but the second half was much better."

  • Ecstatic Enzo

    What a first season that has proved to be for the Italian manager.

  • NO MUDRYK Celebrations

    Mudryk is not looking to be in the celebrations for Chelsea even though he's in the stadium.

    The Chelsea forward tested positive for the banned substance Meldonium in early December.

    Mudryk has insisted he never knowingly used any banned substances.

    He has been unable to train with the squad while suspended.

    The ban remains provisional but if found guilty, Mudryk could face a lengthy period on the sidelines.

  • Heartbreak for Antony

    After a revived season for Antony at Betis with him being on loan from Man Utd, he just couldn't get going tonight.

    It looked like the Man Utd Antony was out there playing again tonight.

    From SunSport’s Lloyd Canfield

    Munich 2012, Amsterdam 2013, Baku 2019, Porto 2021, Wroclaw 2025 - Chelsea are European champions again.

    It might not carry all the glory of those who came before, but this trophy is special in it’s own right, and the way in which they’ve done it has made it all the more special for the fans who travelled to Poland to witness it.

    The Blues are now the first team to complete the set of European trophies, and you sense the idea that the party here is going to go on deep into the night. 

    A Cole Palmer masterclass, a goal each for their £100m midfielders, a Nicolas Jackson special and well, if that’s goodbye, Jadon Sancho, you’ve departed with one hell of a gift. 

    Congratulations, Chelsea!

    Chelsea are the only club to have won all three major European trophies - The Champions League, the Europa League and the Conference League.

  • FULL TIME - CHELSEA WIN CONFERENCE LEAGUE FINAL!

    What an absolute incredible turn around that was from the blues in that second half.

    Whatever Maresca said in that dressing room at half time, it clearly worked and his subs had a huge impact.

    Cole Palmer definitely with a man of the match performance as his two assists are what turned the game around.

    Betis started off by far the better team in the first half as they were the one's applying the pressure and having all the chances.

    Ezzalzouli opened the scoring with a tidy finish but then in the second half an inspired performance from Palmer helped ignite the Chelsea comeback.

    Betis clearly lost all their energy from that first half and were made to pay emphatically from that Chelsea onslaught in that second half.

    History made from Chelsea as they are the only club to have won every major European Trophy!

  • Chelsea 4-1 Real Betis

    90+1. WOW WHAT A SECOND HALF FROM CHELSEA AND THAT'S A FOURTH!

    Cucurella initially wins the ball back for Chelsea before Enzo comes away with it and plays it back to Caicedo who smashes it into that bottom left corner.

    Another great finish.

  • Chelsea 3-1 Real Betis

    87. Sub for Chelsea - Marc Gulu comes on for Cole Palmer who is the main reason for this turnaround.

  • Chelsea 3-1 Real Betis

    85. Very good defending from James as Isco see's the run of Rodriguez in behind James and finds him with a lovely chipped ball but James does a great job at fending off Rodriguez.

  • Chelsea 3-1 Real Betis

    83. GOAL FROM SANCHO!!!
    That's game over!

    The scenes are wild from the Chelsea players and fans!
    Great from the super sub Drewsbury-Hall who just comes on and sends Cardoso the wrong way.

    He plays it to Sancho who cuts in and finishes it beautifully into that top right corner.

  • Chelsea 2-1 Real Betis

    80. Sub for Chelsea! Jackson suffered an injury in that counter attack, Drewsbury hall comes on.

  • Chelsea 2-1 Real Betis

    78. Huge chance for Jackson!

    Chelsea surge forward with a counter from a Real Betis corner.

    Jackson wins it and is away bearing down on goal and it looks like he has a simple one on one or could have just laid it off to Sancho for an open net.

    One of his touches is way too heavy and it falls into Adrian's hands.

    He is terrible.

  • Chelsea 2-1 Real Betis

    75. Just like Chelsea in the first half, Betis have not been able to get going at all this half and replicate what they did in the first half.

    It's like the two teams performances have completely switched over.

    Betis looking very leggy in this half.

  • Chelsea 2-1 Real Betis

    70. WOW WHAT A QUICK TURN AROUND FROM THE BLUES!!!!

    Another assist for Palmer as he does some incredible work on the wing absolutely turning Jesus Rodriguez inside out before whipping in a ball on an absolute plate for Jackson and he could not miss!

    The subs have definitely had a massive impact.
