Chelsea Make European History with Conference League Triumph
Chelsea have etched their name into European football history by becoming the first club to win all three major active UEFA competitions — the Champions League, Europa League, and now the Conference League.
The Blues secured their maiden Conference League title with a commanding 4–1 victory over Spain’s Real Betis in the final, adding yet another prestigious trophy to their cabinet and setting a unique record in European competition.
Completing the European Set
With this win, Chelsea stand alone as the only club to have lifted:
- Champions League: 2012 (vs Bayern Munich), 2021 (vs Manchester City)
- Europa League: 2013 (vs Benfica), 2019 (vs Arsenal)
- Conference League: 2025 (vs Real Betis)
In addition, Chelsea have twice won the UEFA Super Cup and twice triumphed in the now-defunct Cup Winners’ Cup, which ran until 1999, further underscoring their decorated European pedigree.
A Unique UEFA Record
No other European club has matched Chelsea’s feat of completing the trifecta across UEFA’s primary competitions. While a few elite teams may theoretically join this exclusive club in the future, Chelsea will forever hold the distinction of being the first to achieve it.
