He passed, obviously.Now he’s the youngest ever goalscorer at the Euros, also becoming the youngest player to ever start a major semi-final – claiming that title from Pele.But it’s Yamal’s humble approach on and off the pitch that most impresses everyone he meets.And France star Adrien Rabiot probably felt quite embarrassed as he boarded his plane back home from Germany.He had tried to intimidate Yamal ahead of their semi-final clash – telling Yamal he “needs to do more.”Was this good enough, then? Yamal responded with a goal for the ages and a man of the match performance.A season which started with a pre-season game against Tottenham where Yamal excelled but was overshadowed by Oliver Skipp scoring a brace will end on the biggest stage European football has to offer on Sunday.From being outshone by Skipp to eclipsing Pele’s records is not a bad year’s work – just imagine what he will do when he grows up.Read all about the incredible rise of Lamine Yamal in full… More

      What is Cole Palmer’s ‘cold’ celebration? England & Chelsea midfielder’s goal salute explained

      by

      COLE Palmer is an England hero after scoring the only goal for his team in the Euro 2024 final against Spain.But some fans have been left wondering how his “cold” celebration came about and what it means.Cole Palmer does his ‘cold’ celebration during the Euro 2024 finalCredit: ReutersPalmer celebrates his goal against Luton in 2023Credit: GettyWhat is Cole Palmer’s ‘cold’ celebration mean?England footie ace Cole Palmer’s “cold” celebration has caught the eye of fans.Every time he scores a goal, the Chelsea star rubs his arms as though he is chilly or cold.The reason for this move is because Palmer is nicknamed “Cold Palmer”.He earnt the nickname – which is a play on his real name – because of his cool composure when scoring a goal.READ MORE ON COLE PALMERPalmer has since explained that he took the celebration from Morgan Rogers, who performed it after scoring in a game against Middlesbrough.He told the Chelsea football club’s website: “My boy Morgs did one for Middlesbrough, so I told him I’d do it too if I scored.”I saw the keeper come out and took it round him. “Once I’d taken it round the keeper I thought the defender on the line was going to come across fast, so if I waited a second I’d have time to put it in. Most read in Football”I was just telling myself to think and keep my composure.”Palmer debuted his ‘cold’ celebration at Chelsea in December 2023, in a match against Luton.Euro Player Rankings 2024It came when he scored a goal for his team in the first 12 minutes of the match.After Palmer mimed feeling cold to celebrate, hordes of gleeful Chelsea fans took to social media.One wrote: “Cold Palmer, my oh my, I have missed you.”While a second gushed: “Cold Palmer is the best English player in the Premier League.”A third swooned: “MORE LIKE COLD PALMER.”And a fourth posted: “Cold Palmer and a Cold celebration.”Another added: “ICE COLD PALMER STRIKES AGAIN.”Fans were then thrilled once again when he did his “cold” celebration again when he scored another goal later on in the match.How else does Cole Palmer celebrate goals?Palmer is also known to shrug when he scores a goal – but only if it is against his old club.When he scored against his former club Manchester City, he was seen shrugging, which annoyed some fans who labelled it a “savage” move.However, defending the shrug Palmer claimed afterwards that he simply “didn’t know what to do” in the moment.He told reporters: “I spent 15 years at the club. “I can’t really go and celebrate how I would usually celebrate if I had scored a 95th-minute equaliser because it would have been disrespectful. The 21-year-old plays up to his nicknameCredit: AFP”So I just decided to do a shrug. I don’t know why.”Palmer joined Chelsea from Manchester City in a £42.5million summer 2024 deal.He quickly endeared himself to the Stamford Bridge faithful, despite his team’s struggles under Mauricio Pochettino.READ MORE SUN STORIESPalmer also attracted the attention of Gareth Southgate and was part of the England squad at the Euro 2024 tournament.He scored the only England goal against Spain in the tense final, and of course did his “cold” celebration.Maybe Kane really is cursed as trophy drought goes on… he may never get a better chance with EnglandIT now seems as though he really is cursed. Along with the rest of us, writes Charlie Wyett.Tragically, unbelievably, Harry Kane’s agonising search for a trophy still continues and you know have to wonder whether he will ever actually manage it.Certainly for England, in any case.Kane has now suffered defeat in three major club finals and two finals of the European Championships.Last night, the Three Lions captain was so ineffective that he was replaced by Ollie Watkins just after the hour.Like much of this tournament, he really struggled to make the impact when England needed him, not that he had much service.He had one shot in the first half and that was Rodri, who subsequently injured himself and went off at the break.When Cole Palmer struck that brilliant equaliser, Kane was off on his feet from the bench, only for the national team to get another kick in the bo**ocks at the end.Kane was substituted in both the games against Switzerland and Holland which England went on to win but on this occasion, he could only witness a gut-wrenching twist just when it looked as though Gareth Southgate’s team had dug their way out of trouble.The Bayern Munich striker suffered the World Cup 2018 semi-final loss against Croatia, endured heartbreak against Italy in the Euro2020 final and then missed from the spot in the World Cup 2022 quarter-final against France.He really thought that this was his time, even though England did not play well in Germany.Kane will know that he will have more opportunities with England. But not many more.The World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico seems a long way away and it will surely be under a new manager. Will England be better than they are now? Probably not.And we are all left to wonder how much better England would have been with a fit and firing Kane at his very best.Read the full verdict on the curse of Harry Kane…Or check out all of Charlie Wyett’s Euro 2024 stories… More
