Palmer opened the scoring in the 2-1 quarter-final win over Palmieras and ran to Adarabioyo, who was on the substitute bench, to celebrate the goal, which he explained why after the game.
“That's my boy. Obviously, I've had a difficult time these past whatever months on and off the pitch, but he's always been there for me and he's helped me a lot,” he said as quoted by BBC Sports.
“So, yeah, I just thought I'd go over to him.”
Adarabioyo helped the Blues win the UEFA Europa Conference League in his first season and was named in the official team of the season.
