'F*cking hell!' - Reece James uncontrollably swears in live TV interview when quizzed on Chelsea 16-year-old Reggie Walsh following excellent senior debut

<p>Chelsea may have booked their place in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-kiernan-dewsbury-hall-on-target-enzo-maresca-conference-league-semi-final-win-against-djurgarden/bltef2abfb73133b11e" target="_blank">Europa Conference League final with a comfortable win</a> (5-1 on aggregate) over Djurgardens, but the story of the night belonged to 16-year-old Walsh. The teenager etched his name into the club's history books as the youngest player to ever start a European match for the Blues, delivering a performance that had his captain talking long after the final whistle.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Walsh had already offered fans a glimpse of his potential in the first leg of the semi-final, where he made a late appearance and came close to scoring. At 16, his decision-making and spatial awareness were well beyond his years, attributes that clearly impressed James.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an interview with <em>TNT Sports, </em>James said: "I've seen him in training lots, but training and games are different. This is the first time I’ve seen him play in a game and I was like f****** h***, I didn’t realise how good he actually was. Training is training and you can’t judge too much what you see in training."</p><p></p>

WHAT REECE JAMES SAID

<p>The rapid rise of Walsh is not just a personal milestone but a major win for Chelsea’s youth development program. Known for producing stars like Mason Mount and James himself, the academy appears to have unearthed yet another gem. While Chelsea can celebrate reaching another European final, their attention must now turn to what promises to be a stern test against Real Betis. The Spanish side edged out Fiorentina in dramatic fashion, advancing 4-3 on aggregate to set up the showdown in Warsaw. The final is set for May 28 at the Estadio Municipal de Breslavia.</p>
