“He DESTROYED Real Betis… Now Look What He Did to Us!” – Bruno Lage EXPOSES Chelsea Star’s Brutal Masterclass
Chelsea secured their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Benfica in Charlotte, capping off the night with a late flurry during extra time.
Yet despite the convincing scoreline, Benfica manager Bruno Lage pointed to one player as the true catalyst behind Chelsea’s triumph: Cole Palmer.
Speaking after the match, Lage said:
“Cole Palmer might not have scored tonight, but he was absolutely pivotal to Chelsea’s success. We’ve seen it before — he single-handedly took charge of the Conference League final against Real Betis, orchestrating the game with his vision and decisive assists.
When Palmer is in form, he makes life incredibly difficult for any opponent. Sure, he may miss a chance here or there, but his overall impact is undeniable. Every time he’s on the pitch, he raises the threat level.
He’s a top-quality player — and a very dangerous one.”
