Ex-Chelsea player becomes the first player in history to win all three UEFA club competition
Emerson Palmieri achieved a historic moment in Prague when West Ham emerged victorious with a 2-1 score against Fiorentina, securing the Europa Conference League title.
The triumph was accompanied by exuberant celebrations from the West Ham players, coaches, and fans, who filled the pitch with joyous scenes. This victory marked the end of the club’s 58-year-long drought for significant trophies, having last claimed silverware in 1965.
In the final moments of the match, after Said Benrahama’s penalty was equalized by Giacomo Bonaventura of Fiorentina, it was Bowen who found the back of the net in the 90th minute to secure the decisive goal.
The occasion held a significant significance for numerous individuals, including left-back Emerson. This achievement has now made him the sole player to accomplish the feat of winning all of UEFA’s prestigious trophies.
Emerson had previously secured Europa League and Champions League titles with Chelsea in 2019 and 2021 respectively.
Additionally, the Brazilian-born player had also tasted success in the UEFA Super League with Chelsea and had the honor of being part of Italy’s triumphant squad in the 2021 European Championship.
Once the jubilant celebrations subside, West Ham will have the opportunity to contemplate the achievement of securing qualification for the group stage of the upcoming Europa League season.
This successful campaign not only brings them a trophy but also guarantees their participation in the prestigious European competition. Additionally, the triumph in the Europa Conference League final is likely to provide a boost to the future of manager David Moyes.
His position at the club appears more stable and secure following this notable accomplishment.
