Below are the six Records broken following Chelsea Conference League Victory against Real Betis in Poland:
1. Completing the Grand Slam of UEFA Trophies
Chelsea’s latest success means they have now claimed:
2 Champions Leagues (2012, 2021)
2 Europa Leagues (2013, 2019)
2 Cup Winners’ Cups (1971, 1998)
2 UEFA Super Cups (1998, 2022)
1 Conference League (2024–25)
This clean sweep makes Chelsea the first side in football history to hold every major UEFA trophy; a testament to their enduring excellence on the European stage.
2. Halting a 19-Match Streak
Remarkably, Spanish clubs had been virtually unbeatable in continental finals.
In fact, no non-Spanish side had beaten a Spanish team in a major men’s European final since 2001—a run of 19 successive wins for La Liga representatives.
Chelsea’s Conference League victory finally broke that spell, proving that underdog spirit still reigns supreme.
3. Reece James Joins Elite Company
Furthermore, Captain Reece James lifted his first European trophy last night, thereby becoming the sixth skipper to do so for Chelsea:
Ron Harris – Cup Winners’ Cup (1971)
Dennis Wise – Cup Winners’ Cup & Super Cup (1998)
John Terry – Champions League (2012) & Europa League (2013)
Gary Cahill – Europa League (2019)
César Azpilicueta – Champions League & Super Cup (2021)
Reece James – Conference League (2025)
James’s leadership underlines a proud tradition of captains delivering silverware at the highest level.

4. Six Coaches, Six First-Season Trophies
Equally impressive is Chelsea’s continental success as a tribute to its Italian managers.
Of seven Italians to take charge, six won a trophy in their debut season:
Gianluca Vialli: Cup Winners’ Cup, League Cup & Super Cup (1998); FA Cup (2000)
Carlo Ancelotti: Premier League & FA Cup (2009–10)
Antonio Conte: Premier League (2016–17) & FA Cup (2018)
Maurizio Sarri: Europa League (2019)
Enzo Maresca: Conference League (2025)
Their immediate impact highlights the blend of tactical acumen and winning mentality that Italian coaches bring to west London.
5. First Double-Assist in Final Since 2018
Moreover, young winger Cole Palmer put his stamp on the game by setting up two early goals—a feat not achieved in any major European final since Marcelo’s dual assists for Real Madrid against Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final.
Awarded Man of the Match, Palmer joins an exclusive list of players with multi-assist finals performances, underscoring the talent coming through Chelsea’s ranks.
6. A Capital City Treble
Finally, Chelsea’s victory capped off a memorable season for London clubs on all fronts:
Crystal Palace: FA Cup winners
Tottenham Hotspur: Europa League champions
Chelsea: Conference League victors
A clean sweep of trophies made the capital the epicentre of English and European football success this year.
