Jean-Philippe Mateta (29, Crystal Palace) drew the attention of fans by embracing a female reporter excessively during an interview after the game.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 10th (Korea time) that "Mateta spent the entire interview with a female TV reporter around his arm after putting Palace in an advantageous position to advance to the semifinals of the UEFA Europa Conference League."

Palace beat Fiorentina 3-0 in the 2024-2025 UEFA European Championship at Selhurst Park in London.

Mateta scored the opening goal of the penalty kick to help the team win the game 3-0. It was Mateta's first goal since his transfer to AC Milan fell through last winter.

After the match, TNT Sports reporter Olivia Buzaglo stepped onto the pitch to interview Tyreek Mitchell, who scored with Mateta.Mateta then approached Buzaglo closely during the interview and hugged his shoulders strongly, and Buzaglo jokingly said, "We're all hugging here lightly."

Fans poured out various reactions on social media over Mateta's unexpected behavior captured on the broadcast screen. Internet users left comments such as "The power of the grip is enormous," "I will never let go," "I'm using up all 86 of my power (game ability)," "Calm down because I'm not running away," and "Are you trying to crush the bone?"

Meanwhile, Mateta, who demanded a transfer in January, has been trying to win the hearts of fans after staying. His dream move to AC Milan was thwarted due to concerns over the need for knee surgery. Even after the trip to San Si-ro was canceled, he has not been on the operating table and is playing.
