Breaking: Chelsea clinch first trophy under Todd Boehly

Chelsea ended their season on a high note with a dominant 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the UEFA Europa Conference League final, securing their first piece of silverware since the Todd Boehly-led consortium took over the club.

Despite a sluggish start that suggested they hadn’t quite shaken off the euphoria of their recent win over Nottingham Forest, the Blues quickly found their rhythm—thanks to a masterclass from Cole Palmer.

Palmer, who has been instrumental all season, delivered two stunning assists, first setting up Enzo Fernandez and then Nicolas Jackson to give Chelsea the lead. The London side took full control in the second half as Jadon Sancho added a third before Moises Caicedo put the result beyond doubt with a late strike.

Manager Enzo Maresca had urged his players to stay focused, and they responded in emphatic fashion. The win not only marks a successful end to a rollercoaster campaign but also brings home the Conference League trophy—Chelsea’s first under Maresca and Boehly’s ownership.

Having already booked their return to the Champions League, Chelsea’s triumph adds a major boost both in prestige and finances, with the Conference League winner’s purse further sweetening the deal.

The win will be seen as a turning point, restoring confidence among fans and laying a foundation for a potentially bright new era at Stamford Bridge.
