VIDEO: Joe Cole sends cup of tea flying while celebrating Chelsea goal in Conference League final win over Real Betis

Broadcasting live from the TNT Sports studio set up at the Wroclaw Stadium in Poland, Cole was present to witness his former side secure a dominant 4-1 comeback win that sealed their place in European football history as they became the first club to win every major UEFA competition.

Cole looked ready for business as he arrived for his punditry duties in a crisp white shirt under a sharp brown suit. The turning point came when Chelsea scored, sending Cole into an uncontainable fit of joy. As the cameras rolled, he leapt up from his seat with both arms in the air and rushed to embrace Steve Sidwell over the table in front of them.

In the midst of the celebrations, presenter Emma Dodds attempted to step in, sensing that a minor disaster was imminent. Drinks on the desk teetered dangerously close to disaster as Cole’s momentum took him into the line of fire. Despite Dodds’ best efforts to prevent a mess, a cup of tea was sent toppling over, soaking the studio desk in front of the visibly stunned pundits. The mood instantly shifted as Cole turned around to assess the damage. His expression quickly changed from ecstatic to shocked, and with a sheepish grin, he uttered: “Oh no, my tea.”

Rather than let the situation fluster him, Cole played it off with charm and humour. Picking up the cup, he took a sip as if to salvage what was left before searching the table for napkins to mop up the mess. He later picked up a TNT microphone - one that had narrowly avoided getting drenched - and showed it to the camera with a wry smile, joking: “About three grand's worth. I ain’t paying.”

While the final whistle in Wroclaw signalled the end of Chelsea’s European journey for the season, their calendar isn’t quite closed yet. The team is now preparing to travel to the United States in the coming weeks, where they will compete in the Club World Cup, looking to add one more trophy to their growing collection.
