Cole Palmer's post-match interview with TNT Sports after Chelsea win Conference League has got people talking

It was a moment that was described by one fan on social media as being "the worst post-final winning interview in sporting history".

Fresh from his Man of the Match-winning performance in the Conference League final, Cole Palmer delivered an unforgettable chat with TNT Sports as he spoke about his two assists, and whether Chelsea's season was a successful one.

It was certainly a successful final for Enzo Maresca's side, who ran rampant against Real Betis as second-half goals from Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Moises Caicedo sealed a well-earned 4-1 victory in Wrocław, Poland.

After a slow start to proceedings, the Premier League side managed to overturn a 1-0 half-time deficit thanks, in part, to the brilliance of Palmer.

Speaking in his post-match interview, the England international was asked how he managed to find the space he needed to deliver two assists for his team. Palmer replied: "Erm... I don't know. I was trying to find space as the team got going. And yeah."

"We needed a reaction in the second half, and we got it" 💪

As you can see from the footage above, the TNT reporter proceeded to speak to captain Reece James for a couple of minutes before Palmer was pushed for his thoughts on Chelsea winning the full set of European trophies.

"To be the only team in history is a great feeling," he said. "So yeah."

The 23-year-old, known for his nonchalant approach to interviews, was then asked if he would call Chelsea's campaign a successful one. He pointed towards James and said: "Ask the captain."

Palmer's chat with TNT sparked plenty of reaction on social media, with fans reacting to his short responses.

One said: "Will Cole Palmer ever get media training? His interviews are definitely one of a kind," and a second wrote: "Pundits and journalists should just never interview Cole Palmer. Guy has no interest in speaking to them and it’s glorious."

A third commented: "Palmer interview.. why are people so uninterested after winning a final? Is this cool?"

A fourth said: "This Cole palmer interview. Saying ask the captain. Lmfao," and a fifth added: "That post-match interview with Palmer & James with @footballontnt was disrespectful. No need. Embarrassing."
