Chelsea clinched the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup title with a commanding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday’s final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Cole Palmer was the star of the night, scoring twice in the opening half-hour and assisting João Pedro for the third goal just before the break. The 22-year-old forward was later named Player of the Match, having now scored 18 goals this season for Chelsea.
Palmer opened the scoring with two precise low shots that pierced PSG’s defence. In the 43rd minute, João Pedro made it 3-0 with a clever chip over Gianluigi Donnarumma, sealing Chelsea’s dominance in the first half.
Tensions flared late in the match after a clash between Donnarumma and Pedro, which led to a scuffle involving players and coaching staff from both sides. PSG’s João Neves was shown a red card in the 85th minute following a VAR review that caught him pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair during an off-the-ball incident.
The final whistle sparked wild celebrations among Chelsea’s squad, with players and staff pouring onto the pitch. Shirts reading 'World champions' were visible as the club claimed its first Club World Cup title since 2021.
