The UEFA Europa Conference League campaign for 2024-25 has concluded, and Chelsea has secured their first trophy of the Clearlake-Boehly era. Chelsea claimed the trophy on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at Stadion Wrocław in Poland. Remarkably, Chelsea has triumphed in the Champions League, the Europa League, the now-defunct Cup Winners’ Cup, and now the Conference League.

Sancho and Caicedo’s third and fourth goals have helped Chelsea establish a new record of 42 goals in their UEFA Conference League campaign this season (from the league phase onwards), which is five goals ahead of Fiorentina in second place with 37 goals.

Truly remarkable.
