Chelsea FC 3-0 Paris Saint-Germain
Goals: Cole Palmer (22, 30), Joao Pedro (43)
Chelsea FC have been crowned the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup™ champions after a superb performance by Cole Palmer guided the Premier League side to a resounding final victory over ten-man Paris Saint-Germain.
In a blockbuster final at the MetLife Stadium, Palmer scored twice in an eight-minute spell in the opening half and then played through Joao Pedro just before the break to set up the Blues for a deserved triumph over the European champions.
Luis Enrique’s side, who were chasing a quadruple of major trophies during the 2024/25 campaign, were rocked by Chelsea’s first-half onslaught and looked a shadow of the team who demolished Real Madrid C.F. in the semi-finals.
The Londoners’ devastating performance provided a fitting climax to a hugely successful tournament and cements their status as one of the teams to beat in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League next season.
