Cole said on TNT Sports: "Cole Palmer, absolute genius. We don't produce these players.
"They don't fall off trees. He took the game by the scruff of the neck tonight and made it happen.
"There aren't many players in world football who can do what he does."
Cole, who was a Champions League runner-up with the Stamford Bridge outfit in 2008 - the last major Uefa final the team were defeated in - added: "Chelsea is a huge club at this level.

"And what I would say, for these young players and this team to win a trophy, it's going to take them to the next level.
"But it's not about that tonight. It's about a group of young footballers, young coaches, coming together and achieving something.
"Don't be looking down your noses at this."
Cole also gave his transfer verdict on loan star Sancho, who Chelsea have the option to sign from Manchester United for £25million or face a £5m penalty to not sign him.

He said: "I think Jadon is a really great player and I think he's done well.
"He's been rotated in and out a bit but I want to see Jadon playing. You want a player like that in your squad. It will come down to a financial decision I imagine but I really like him."
Asked specifically whether the winger had done enough to justify a permanent move, Cole said: "Yes I do.
"This is a kid who went to Dortmund and was a superstar as a kid. It wasn't working at Man United but he's done well, he's got his career back on track at Chelsea.

Luis Enrique hopes ‘very difficult journey' to CL final ends with glory for PSG
Luis Enrique hopes Paris St Germain's difficult journey to the Champions League final will help them make history on Saturday. PSG will contest their second European final when they face Inter Milan at Allianz Arena and aim to go one better than in the 2020 loss to Bayern Munich. Champions League success has been the holy grail for PSG's owners Qatar Sports Investment since they acquired a majority share in 2011, but Luis Enrique's team were in dangerous of a league-phase exit after a run of three defeats in four. Paris St Germain manager Luis Enrique has challenged his players to write themselves into the club's history (Adam Davy/PA) A 4-2 win over Manchester City in January revitalised their campaign and after tricky knockout ties with Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal were navigated, Ligue 1 champions PSG enter this final with 28 wins from the 34 fixtures they have played in 2025. Luis Enrique, a winner in this competition with Barcelona a decade ago, plans a repeat against 2023 runners-up Inter. 'What I tried to transmit to the players is that we have been on a very difficult journey,' Luis Enrique told a press conference. 'We have had to play in top-level games since the start of the Champions League. The fact that it was hard at the start could be an advantage for us now because we are used to playing in these games. 'We played in the stadium against Munich, a team that is one of the best in Europe and we played in finals before. We are ready. We have not been scared at all this season so we are going to take to the pitch at our best tomorrow. 'I have more experience now from the last few years. I try to transmit to my team and my players the importance of playing in the Champions League final and the chance to make history. 'Making history means doing something that nobody has ever done before you at a club like Paris St Germain, so that is very important and it needs to be managed carefully so that it doesn't overwhelm us. 'I have the loved the way we have looked at training. Inter don't have any doubts either and it will be a brilliant final that we want to win.' PSG captain Marquinhos featured in the 2020 loss to Bayern, which occurred behind closed doors due to coronavirus restrictions. Marquinhos has shared a dressing room with superstars Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, but expressed his love for this current group. He said: 'I have played in so many teams over the years here, but we are certainly enjoying it here on a daily basis and in every match. 'You can see the way we all run together, how we understand one another on the pitch, so there is the influence in our results. I am in love with this team, with everything we do on the pitch for one another and it is a pleasure to be a part of it. 'It is a great opportunity tomorrow to make history here as a club and for all the players here. It is a second opportunity for me to play in the Champions League final and I don't want to let if pass me by.' 🎙️ Ousmane Dembélé: "I'm very proud to be here in the final. Nothing has been easy. It's just a pleasure to be at this stage of the competition."#UCLfinal — Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) May 30, 2025 Ousmane Dembele has enjoyed an extraordinary campaign with 33 goals to become one of the favourites for the Ballon d'Or, but played down its significance. 'When you are a player at Paris St Germain, the most important thing is to win the Champions League. I am focused on the team and not on individual accolades,' Dembele insisted. 'I am pleased with what we have done since January. We have changed our mentality and we are going to try to keep it going and go all the way.'
