Former Chelsea left back Emerson Palmieri set a record for himself as he became the first player to win all of UEFA five cups.

Palmieri achieved the feat after EPL side West Ham lifted the Europa Conference League title on Wednesday night in Prague.

The Hammmer defeated Fiorentina 2-1 in the final to win their first major European trophy since 1965.

While Fiorentina dominated possession with 68% of the ball and having more shots than West Ham (17 to 8), West Ham struck first.

Said Benrahma scored the first goal in a 62nd-minute penalty before Giacomo Bonaventura fired in an equaliser five minutes later.

However, Jarrod Bowen scored the winner in the 89th minute to hand the trophy to David Moyes’ side.

Palmieri, who played all 90 minutes of the match, won the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League in 2019 and 2021, respectively.
