Europa Conference League Final 2025 | Real Betis v Chelsea | Wed 28th May '25

[crooky]

Would the winners normally go into next season's EL? I know Chelsea are in the CL.

"Yes. The Conference League champion automatically qualifies for the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League group stage.

However, there's a catch: if the champion has already secured a Champions League or Europa League spot through their domestic league, the berth does not get passed down. In this case, Chelsea have already qualified for the Champions League, and Betis are in the Europa League via LaLiga — so the spot won’t be reassigned."

So surely someone, somewhere will benefit?

Pellegrini has gone from City 2013/14 to 2015/16 season in 90 minutes.

Feel for Betis fans, loyal bunch with little success.

Commentator going on about Chelsea fans noise, couldn't hear them first half tbh.

Let's hope the trophy parade passes off without incident.

If it doesn’t they can just blame the Everton fans like the other lot.

They've shit the bed big time in the second half.

Is Seb Hutchinson related to his namesake Ian of Chelsea and his long throw fame ? Wanking off to this degree does make you wonder.

 

[stonerblue]

Well fuck me. Won 20 on half/full time and 25 caicedo last goal..

 

[its a Barm]

Chelsea deserve this by far the better team

 

[.db.]

Chelsea are now the first team in European football who have won every single trophy in the sport.

Very good first half from Betis. Isco was brilliant, Ez Abde had Gusto in his pocket.

He got injured, James came on, completely different game on the left side after for Betis...

Funny because Betis didn't turn up in the second half whereas the Chelsea subs did.

Dewsbury-Hall assist for Sancho (Subs)...

James as captain played a big influence...

Palmer brilliant in the middle, Bartra and Natan couldn't cope.

Well done Chelsea.

Huge gulf between the two sides let’s be honest. It’s a given that any English side in this competition is likely to win it. The quality of opposition in this comp is mid/lower table prem standard at best

Commentator wants shooting.
Can't listen to the guy without gritting my teeth

On the plus side on tonight’s showing the rags should get about £12.50 for Anthony.

 

[stan bowles]

Winning the equivalent of the Inter Toto Cup is no achievement with a squad costing over a billion.

Weird and also sad… we used to get shots of fit women!

Over 5 years?

I haven’t got a clue who half those players on the Chelsea bench are.
