Chelsea legend Joe Cole (44) brought laughter to fans with a humorous incident of losing his son.
Cole served as a commentator for 'TNT Sports' during the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) final between Real Betis and Chelsea in Wroclaw, Poland, on the 29th (Korea time).
In the match, Chelsea fell behind 0-1 to Real Betis after conceding a goal to Abde Ezzalzouli in the 9th minute of the first half. However, Chelsea made a comeback with consecutive goals from Enzo Fernández, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Moisés Caicedo to win 4-1.
As the final whistle blew, the stadium turned into a celebration venue for Chelsea's victory. Players, officials, and spectators quickly gathered, creating a bustling crowd.
A moment later, the camera panned to the commentary team. Even though the broadcast had started, Cole kept looking around the stadium with a worried expression. Steve Sidwell and Michail Antonio, who were standing next to Cole, were doing the same.
In response, Cole awkwardly stated during the broadcast, "I lost my child." Sidwell, who played for Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Fulham, joked, "Joe brought his son in and he might be holding the trophy."
Cole married fitness instructor Carly Zucker in June 2009. Their first child, a daughter named Ruby Tatiana, was born in March 2010, and they welcomed a son named Harrison in October 2012.
Cole then said with a smile, "He must be somewhere. I hope my wife didn't see this scene." The host responded, "Joe Cole's parenting class episode 101," which made the venue burst into laughter. It became another delightful moment for Chelsea fans along with the victory.
