Chelsea dominated Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup final, securing a 3-0 victory at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Cole Palmer scored a brace, netting goals in the 22nd and 30th minutes, before Joao Pedro sealed the win with a stunning chip over Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 43rd minute.
The match showcased Chelsea’s exceptional pressing, with Enzo Maresca’s tactics proving effective against PSG’s defense.
Palmer’s first goal came after a scintillating run by Malo Gusto, who set up the winger for a simple finish. The second goal was equally impressive, with Levi Colwill’s through-ball allowing Palmer to showcase his skill.
Joao Pedro’s goal was the icing on the cake, as Cole Palmer’s precise pass found him in space, and he expertly chipped the ball over Donnarumma. This win marks a significant achievement for Chelsea, especially after their Conference League triumph in May.
The halftime show featured performances by J Balvin, Doja Cat, and Tems, drawing mixed reactions from viewers. Some fans appreciated the spectacle, while others felt it disrupted the game’s flow. US President Trump was in attendance, adding to the event’s high profile.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was speechless after the results and praised his players’ performances.
“I have no words for the players. They all deserve this and it’s a good moment. For me, we won the game in the first 10 minutes. We set the tempo and we were very good at pressing them. The conditions made it hard to keep going but the boys did well.” Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea’s victory demonstrates their potential as contenders for the Premier League next season. Their display against PSG has sparked discussions about their title chances, with fans and pundits alike praising their performance.
The win secures Chelsea’s position as the champion of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with PSG unable to capitalize on their chances. The match ended with Chelsea’s dominance evident, and their fans eagerly anticipating their next fixtures.
