A much-maligned Cole Palmer in the 2924/25 campaign compared to the previous season, shone brightly in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, with a brace and an assist for Joao Pedro to seal a 3-0 win for Chelsea over PSG, as the Blues took the crown in an unconvincing way.
Cole Palmer played a key role in Chelsea's journey to history as the first team to win the FIFA Club World Cup under the new format (32 teams participating and held every 4 years).
On a memorable day with Chelsea, Cole Palmer was also awarded the Golden Ball by the Organizing Committee for the best player of the tournament .
Sharing on the glorious day, the 23-year-old star said that his and his teammates' joy was even more valuable, as Chelsea was not highly rated in the tournament.
“It was a great feeling. Even better because before the game everyone doubted Chelsea, thinking we couldn’t beat PSG. We knew that and we fought hard .”
Palmer spoke with admiration of coach Enzo Maresca: “The coach has a great strategy. He knows where PSG will be exposed. Coach Enzo Maresca tries to give me as much freedom on the pitch as possible and I just have to respond by scoring goals .”
At 23, Cole Palmer has already shown that he is a player for big matches, with his incredible composure. Specifically, not only did he score 2 goals and assist in the important FIFA Club World Cup final, he also made his mark in the Conference League final in May with 2 assists.
At the national team level, Palmer was also the equalizer for England in the EURO 2024 final before the team lost 1-2 to Spain.
Besides his talent on the field, Cole Palmer also makes others admire his beautiful and lasting love with his girlfriend Connie Grace. The couple are the same age and have been together since they were 17, but they have maintained a secret relationship. It was not until last year that Palmer and his girlfriend appeared publicly together.
Grace, a professional nail technician, owns her own business and is also a social media influencer, spoke proudly about her boyfriend, saying Cole Palmer still looks the same as when they first met, despite his current status in the Premier League.
“ Cole Palmer is the same person I was when I met him at 17. Even though he’s all grown up and has a completely different life now, Cole is still that boy, still that calm. He can adapt to any situation .”
