Chelsea made history in Wroclaw last night, defeating Real Betis 4-1 to claim the Conference League title and become the first team ever to win all five of UEFA's club tournaments.
The Blues' triumph came just three days after securing Champions League qualification, capping off a remarkable 2024/25 campaign.
The west London side were favourites from the tournament's outset and won all but one of their 13 matches.
Chelsea now stand alone as the only club to have lifted the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Super Cup and Cup Winners' Cup.

Cole Palmer, who was omitted from the squad during the league phase before being recalled for the knockout stages, has now recorded 15 goals and 12 assists in his second season at Stamford Bridge. When asked about his celebration plans on CBS Sports Golazo, the midfielder grinned and bluntly replied: "No comment."
In another humourous moment, Palmer kept his Player of the Match trophy tucked in his shorts, explaining with deadpan style: "I've got no pockets."

However, Palmer's quality shone through in the second half as he delivered a precise cross for Enzo Fernandez's equalising header.
The England international then produced a brilliant turn and cross that found Nicolas Jackson, who netted from close range to complete the turnaround and put Chelsea firmly in control.
Substitute Jadon Sancho added further gloss to Chelsea's dominant second-half performance, curling in an impressive third goal to put the result beyond doubt.
