Emerson Palmieri: South American won 3 European Cups

It seems that few fans remember the name Emerson Palmieri even though this Brazilian-born defender won the EURO 2020 championship with the Italian team. Starting his career at the famous Santos team in his hometown of Brazil, Emerson Palmieri then moved to play football in Europe, playing for many mid-level clubs such as Palermo, AS Roma or slightly more famous names such as Chelsea, Lyon...

In August 2022, Emerson quietly joined West Ham and played 22 matches for the Hammers all season.

Only playing a decent role in the left-back position and often unable to compete with many competitors at all the clubs he has joined, Emerson Palmieri still has his own unique resume that is hard to match.

...and become the new European champion

In addition to the European Championship title won with the Italian team, Emerson Palmieri also has many achievements that surprise everyone.

In his first 5 seasons with Chelsea (2017-2022) with only 32 appearances, this defender has won a Champions League title, a Europa League title and the European Super Cup.

Emerson won the Champions League with Chelsea

On the morning of June 8, West Ham won the Europa Conference League for the first time, ending a 57-year drought and creating conditions for Emerson to become the first player to win all three European cup competitions.

Emerson played the full 90 minutes plus eight minutes of stoppage time in the final, which West Ham only managed to beat Fiorentina 2-1 thanks to Jarod Bowen's decisive goal. Said Benrahma had opened the scoring for the English side from the penalty spot and Giacomo Bonaventura had equalised for Fiorentina.

Winning Europa League with "The Blues"

Emerson has rarely started for West Ham in the Premier League but is still trusted by manager David Moyes in Europe. The Italian full-back started eight Europa Conference League matches and played the entire final.

Emerson makes history in European football

Now, only Henrikh Mkhitaryan has a chance of matching Emerson's record if Inter Milan overcome Man City in this weekend's Champions League final.

The Armenian midfielder won the Europa League with Man United in 2017 and lifted the Europa Conference League trophy with AS Roma last season before moving to Inter Milan.
