Wroclaw is painted blue. Chelsea rewrites history once again: a poker against Betis in the final and another trophy in the cabinet. The Blues are the first club to win the five main European trophies: the Conference is added to the Champions League, Europa League, Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Super Cup. A unique record that has no equal.
In Poland, two games are played. Betis dominates the first half and takes nine minutes to unlock the match with Ezzalzouli, but it's in the second half that Chelsea comes out. Maresca's boys turn everything around in five minutes with the goals of captain Fernandez and Jackson, then Sancho scores the third with a perfect curved shot and Caicedo's poker sets the result at 4-1. It's history.
Crazy impact of Enzo Maresca: in his first season at the helm of Chelsea, the Italian coach manages to give the Blues a trophy that was missing from the 21/22 season and "completes" the game of football.
All UEFA trophies won and history rewritten: 2 Champions Leagues, 2 Europa Leagues, 2 Cup Winners' Cups, 2 European Super Cups, and 1 Conference League. No one like Chelsea.

Chelsea's reaction in the second half is applauded! Betis is annihilated and four goals are scored in 45 minutes. Moises Caicedo scores the poker goal and gives the Conference to Chelsea.
It's a whole different Chelsea in the second half! Jadon Sancho, who entered at minute 61, scores the third seven minutes from the 90th. The curved shot is perfect: it leaves no escape for Adrian and practically puts the Conference League in the bag.
Five more minutes pass and Chelsea turns everything around. Palmer is still the protagonist: he assists with a kiss for Jackson, who, all alone, cannot miss the header from a few meters away.
RANDOM STAT: Cole Palmer returns to being decisive after months of "oblivion": the Englishman provides two assists to applause in the Conference final. So far in the competition, he had only made one.
Perfect ball from Cole Palmer, insertion behind Bartra, and the header is scored behind Adrian. Captain Enzo Fernandez puts Chelsea on his shoulders and takes back Betis in the final. It's 1-1 at minute 65.
RANDOM STAT: Thanks to the goal from the Argentine, Chelsea has managed to score in every game played in the Conference League this season: there are 42 total goals.
At minute 55, a dubious episode occurs that could have changed the game: cross in the middle for Jackson, Adrian's late exit, and the Chelsea attacker is knocked down.
Betis' goalkeeper intercepts the ball slightly, but the punch in the face is evident. The VAR checks the episode, but does not call back the referee. The game resumes
Nightmare first half for Malo Gusto: Chelsea's full-back, guilty of Betis' advantage goal, is substituted after 45' by Maresca. Reece James enters in his place.

RANDOM STAT: Malo Gusto has recorded 0% in long balls (0/2), tackles (0/2), and aerial duels (0/1), and no player has been dribbled more than him in the first 45 minutes.
Isco is showing everyone why his return to the Spanish national team is more than deserved.
Betis' midfielder is the only LaLiga player to provide more than 10 assists between the league and Europe during the year: a total of 11. Without a doubt.
Betis starts very strong in Poland! After hitting Fiorentina in the semifinals, Ezzalzouli responds present against Chelsea as well. The ball is received in the center of the area from the usual Isco, and the incised left foot leaves no escape for Jorgensen. Blues down after nine minutes.
RANDOM STAT: The Moroccan attacker, born in 2001, reaches a total of 6 goals in the Conference League, three of which have arrived in the last three games (semifinals and final).
In Wroclaw, the city hosting this year's Conference final, some clashes have been recorded between the fans. The city center is taken by storm: broken glasses, thrown chairs, and smoke bombs have made the police intervention necessary.
Only the use of tear gas by the anti-riot agents has restored order in the city. The situation now seems to be under control, but it's not possible to lower your guard: the atmosphere in Poland is boiling.
