Despite falling behind early to Abde Ezzalzouli's 9th-minute strike, The Blues staged a stunning second-half comeback, fueled by a masterclass performance from Cole Palmer, who delivered two crucial assists.
Enzo Fernandez leveled the score in the 65th minute with a precise header from Palmer's cross. Just five minutes later, Palmer showcased his brilliance again, weaving past defenders before setting up Nicolas Jackson, who chested the ball home to make it 2-1.
Chelsea surged ahead as substitute Jadon Sancho curled a sublime shot into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Adrian helpless. Moises Caicedo then sealed the victory with a late fourth goal, securing Chelsea's seventh European trophy in club history.
The 23-year-old Palmer was named Man of the Match for his decisive contributions, as Chelsea became the first club to win all three major European competitions—Champions League (2x), Europa League (2x), and now the Europa Conference League.
Though Real Betis started confidently, they crumbled under Chelsea's relentless midfield pressure in the second half. This triumph not only adds to Chelsea's silverware but also signals their resurgence as a European powerhouse.
