Chelsea Players Agree Cole Palmer Will Soon Become The World's Best Player

JAKARTA - Liam Delap, Malo Gusto, and Roberto Sanchez praised Cole Palmer, who dedicated Chelsea's victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the 2025 Club World Cup final over PSG to Enzo Maresca.

In fact, many wrote a scenario before the tournament that Paris Saint-Germain would win the 2025 Club World Cup after seeing the French club's performance throughout the 2024/2025 season.

The Champions League, Ligue 1, and Coupe de France must be refined with the 2025 Club World Cup trophy to close the 2024/2025 season.

Names such as Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, or Ousmane Dembele are also predicted to become the main stars.

However, the story was shattered into pieces inside the MetLife Stadium, New York, New Jersey, on Monday, July 14, 2025 WIB, or Sunday, July 13, 2025, during the afternoon of American time.

PSG, which previously destroyed Inter Milan 5-0 in the UEFA Champions League final and defeated Atletico de Madrid and Real Madrid with a landslide score of 4-0 on the way to the final, actually became victims of the massacre.

The defeat was given by Chelsea and led by Cole Palmer. The 23-year-old broke the deadlock with a calm final finish.

Later, he met Levi Colwill's cross, made a hoax, tricked Vitinha, and netted the ball into the bottom corner of the same goal.

Palmer's job to crush opponents in the first half was not over. Just before the break, he pushed into midfield and provided a perfect measurable pass into Joao Pedro's running, which cleverly catapulted the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma to change the score to 3-0 and last until the end.

"His performance was extraordinary. He's a world-class player and today he showed it," Liam Delap told FIFA about Palmer's performance.

The Blues goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, who received the Golden Hand Sarong, is even sure that Palmer will one day get an individual title as the best footballer in the world.

"Cole Palmer is the best in the world. If she wasn't the best at the moment, she would be the best in the next two to three years."

"He's a top player. He shows it at every game. What he does is magical."

"When he got a chance, he took advantage of it. Today he scored two goals, almost a hat trick. Impressive," said goalkeeper Robert Sanchez on the FIFA website.

Palmer, according to Chelsea's teammate, is not the person who stole the show off the pitch.

However, the attacking midfielder spoke more with his actions on the pitch.

"He is often a little alone, a little quiet. However, he is a very good person. He knows when to speak up."

"He also knows how to give it up to help the team relax a little bit more. We all have a very good relationship. We are very happy to have players like this."

"Everyone knows Cole now. In fact everyone knows him before. He's a top player, like many other players in this team. He did a lot for us tonight," said Malo Gusto.

Meanwhile, Palmer won the 2025 Club World Cup Best Player and Player of the Year award.

Interestingly, he prefers to give praise to his manager, Enzo Maresca.

"Obviously everyone doubts us. We don't care, we just use it as additional motivation and we managed to overcome the difficulties on the pitch."

"In my opinion, we performed perfectly today, especially thanks to the coach. We have a good game plan and we are running it well," Palmer said.
