Cole Palmer offered no insight into his celebration plans after Chelsea won the UEFA Conference League.
An excellent second half performance from Palmer helped the Blues come from behind to beat Real Betis 4-1 on Wednesday night.

The 23-year-old assisted two goals as Chelsea became the first team in history to win all five of UEFA’s club tournaments.
Victory over Betis came just three days after they qualified for next season’s Champions League, capping off a strong 2024/25 campaign.
Chelsea therefore had cause for celebration in Wroclaw, but Palmer kept a lid on how he planned to enjoy himself.
When asked on CBS Sports Golazo about how he would celebrate, he bluntly said with a grin: “No comment.”
Palmer was awarded with the Player of the Match trophy following yet another game-changing display for Chelsea.
He kept it at the front of his shorts and when explaining why it was there, he amusingly replied: “I’ve got no pockets.”
Chelsea were favourites to win the Conference League right from the start and won all but one of their 13 matches in the tournament.
Palmer was omitted from their squad for the league phase but was brought back in by Enzo Maresca for the knockout stages.
His first goal contribution came in their semi-final first leg win over Djurgarden before his two assists in the final against Betis.
The attacking midfielder has hit 15 goals and 12 assists in his second season at Chelsea and won silverware with them for the first time.

Abde Ezzalzouli fired Betis into the lead with just nine minutes on the clock to leave their west London opponents stunned.
But Chelsea turned on the style in the second half and equalised with an Enzo Fernandez header from Palmer’s cross.
Palmer then pulled off a brilliant turn and cross for Nicolas Jackson, who netted from close range to complete the turnaround.
Substitute Jadon Sancho curled in an impressive third before Moises Caicedo joined the scoresheet in stoppage-time.
Chelsea became the first English side to beat Spanish opposition in a major European final since 2001.
They are now also the only team to ever win the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Super Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup.
