Enzo Maresca challenged Chelsea to make their historic conference competition the start of an important period for the club.
The blues fought back to beat Real Betis 4-1 in Wroclaw on Wednesday after a backlog at the goal of Abde Ezzalzouli in a weak first half.
Cole Palmer inspired the second half by Turnaround, and Teeing Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson in the five -minute room to turn the game upside down.
Jadon Sancho and Moises Caicedo sealed the victory late, making the blues the first side to have four different goal scorers in a large European final since Real Madrid in the 2014 Champions League program against Atletico Madrid.
They therefore became the first side to win each of the champions, Europe and conference competitions, and the first to collect four different UEFA trophies, after he had also lifted the now -defined Cup winner cup.
Meanwhile, Maresca became the first manager to make the big European silverware fuss in his first season to lead an English club, because Thomas Tuchel also achieved the performance with Chelsea in winning the UEFA Champions League 2020-21.
However, if you speak to TNT Sports after the game, the blues -boss wants to be a stepping stone for even greater performance in the future.
“I am very proud, very happy for many reasons. I personally feel good, but I know the fans they deserve,” he said.
“They have been waiting for a good time for two or three years, the club has invested a lot of money for the past two or three years.
“Hopefully this can be a good starting point to achieve something important.”
The victory of Chelsea ends a point of 27 straight Spanish victories in the final of the world cups, European championships, Champions League and the UEFA Cup/Europa League with Spanish parties.
Betis, however, was a good price for their first half a lead, which limited Chelsea to just a expected goals of 0.1, but in the second half poorly faltered in what their first major European final was.
With the blues that Champions League qualified by Nottingham Forest to beat only three days ago, Maresca accepted that his side could initially struggle.
“I think we approached the game in the wrong way. I expected it a bit because after two days of luck was too much after Nottingham,” he added.
“You are going to wait all season, wait, and we were struggling a bit. The second half was much better. We are very happy.
“The message after Nottingham has been boys, if we want to be in an important team, is what is being done. Now we are in the final.” This was the message.
“We had 48 hours, they played for nothing on Friday, we played for a big target on Sunday. I expected it a bit.”
A surprise was Maresca's decision to select Captain Reece James on the couch, but his half-time introduction was one of the reasons for Chelsea's much improved performance after the break.
Maresca explained his decision and said: “I promise you, I will always start with Reece, but I try to protect him.
“He knows he is a top player for us, he is like Cole. The problem is that we have to protect him.”
