For Chelsea This finale was the first in the European arena in 2021. At that time, in the English-English final of the Champions League, they played 1: 0 Manchester City. Betis has never taken part in such a participation before, although the story of … Spanish clubs in Poland spoke behind him. In our country, two finals of the Europa League (Warsaw 2015 and Gdańsk 2021) and the UEFA Super Cup (Warsaw 2024) took place. All these matches were won by Spanish teams (2015 – Sevilla, 2021 – Villareal, 2024 – Real Madrid).
Chelsea slept the first half. But when they woke up … there was nothing to collect
After the first half, it seemed that this pro -Spanish trend would not change. Betis took the lead in the 9th minute after a fabulous pass Isco and an effective impact of Eza Abde. The team from Seville generally looked much better, was much more active. Chelsea In turn, she looked like they were just pulled out of beds. Only after the break, and not immediately, they decided to play football. However, when they did this, they threw their rivals on their knees. Endzo Fernandez's goal in the 65th minute gave equalization. Five minutes later, Nicolas Jackson hit the chest almost 2: 1. The goal of Jadona Sancho from the 83th minute ended the emotions in this clash, and Moises Caicdo from the added time of the game was hit by Betis.
The English media did not hide their joy after triumph and respect for Chelsea. The “The Guardian” daily emphasized that the Londoners had passed the test. A difficult test that the Spaniards gave them. “Nobody even tries to say that for Chelsea this cup means nothing, because the trophy is a trophy.” Real Betis was brutally convinced today. They were excellent today until the break, but after her Isco disappeared, the scorer of Ez Abde suffered an injury, and Chelsea took advantage of his reserve bench packed and returned in a great style. They deserved this, there is no doubt, but Betis forced them to work hard – we read.
A trophy that definitely matters
“Daily Telegraph” also emphasized that this victory is more valuable to Chelsea than their rivals will be able to admit. – They know what their rivals will talk about. That a club with such a brand should not play in the conference league at all, that this victory was a duty. They have heard it many times. But now try to tell 11 thousand Chelsea fans in Wrocław that this trophy is irrelevant. Tell Palmer that his excellent performance is worthless. Tell coach Enzo Mareska, who after the third goal fell into the arms of the players that it does not count. The winner's DNA is built with the winning finals, and Chelsea has gathered today after Eza Abde's goal and did what belonged to her – writes Dziennik.
The hero was one. The star fueled the whole team
“Cole Palmer inspired Chelsea to the great return and victory in the conference league final!” – he even screams in the title “The Standard”. Palmer noted two wonderful assists that revived Chelsea after the snail's even first half. From Chelsea, there was a victory in this competition, but you could have doubts about the break when Betis was well -deserved. Later, Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson turned Palmer's passes into goals. This lead was no longer threatened, and Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicdo put their emotions to sleep. Chelsea won the conference league and completed the collection already rich in European league and the Champions League – we read.
