Background
Cole Palmer has been a vital player for Chelsea throughout his two seasons at Stamford Bridge. His impact was recognized when he received the PFA Young Player of the Year award following his impressive debut campaign in West London.
Significant Achievements
Palmer continued to make a mark, playing a key role in Chelsea`s victory in the 2025 Conference League final, which added another major trophy to their collection. He saved his best performance for another significant occasion, scoring two goals in a dominant 3-0 win over Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final.
Palmer`s Comments
After the match in New Jersey, where he also provided an assist, Palmer spoke with DAZN. When asked about Head Coach Enzo Maresca`s project and the team`s transfer strategy, Palmer commented: “He`s building something special, something important. It`s a young team. Everyone has said a lot of negative things about us throughout the season, but I feel we are moving in the right direction.”
Reflecting on the Win
Palmer, who mentioned enjoying playing in finals, shared his feelings about Chelsea being recognized as the best team in the world. He stated: “It feels great. It`s even better because obviously everyone doubted us before the game. To go out there and compete the way we did, against a great team, feels really good.”
Looking Ahead for Chelsea
Chelsea has invested significantly in the recent transfer window, bringing in new players such as Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. The team will take a short break before preparing for the 2025-26 season, which will see them participate in the Champions League once again.
