Chelsea secured a decisive 4-1 victory against Real Betis in the Uefa Conference League final, thanks to Cole Palmer's critical performance. With the score at 0-1, Palmer transformed the game in a mere five minutes, providing assists that completely shifted the momentum. Chelsea's management, seeking redemption after a tumultuous season, celebrated their first trophy since the new ownership took over. Despite Betis's aspirations for their first European title, they succumbed to a stronger Chelsea side. Palmer's skills and contributions highlight his immense potential as a rising star in European football, hinting at a bright future in the Champions League.
When Cold Palmer finally emerged, decided that enough was enough and took an icy hold on a final that was in danger of running away from Chelsea.
There have been countless signings under this Chelsea ownership but none as smart as the 40m spent on buying Palmer from Manchester City.
Betis chased their first European trophy but the financial gulf told in the end. There was no romance in Manuel Pellegrini... succumbing to a 4-1 defeat.
There could be no better demonstration of why Palmer deserves to hear the Champions League anthem before his next European assignment.
