Palmer explained that he was tired of simply passing the ball backwards and sideways during the game. He decided to take matters into his own hands and make something happen. When he got the ball, he made a conscious effort to move forward and create scoring opportunities.

Palmer's first assist came when he spotted Enzo running with space and passed the ball to him. His second assist was a result of some clever movement and ball control, allowing him to find Nico with a precise pass.

Chelsea's centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo praised Palmer for his outstanding performance, saying that he completely changed the game with his two individual moments of brilliance. Adarabioyo noted that Palmer had struggled in front of goal in the second half of the season, but his performance in the final was a reminder of his quality.

Chelsea's comeback win over Betis was their first victory over Spanish opposition in a major European final since 2001. The team's success may be boosted by the upcoming signing of striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town, which could give them an edge in the Champions League.
