Chelsea defeats PSG to win Club World Cup

Chelsea delivered a commanding performance to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 3–0 in the final of the Club World Cup, claiming their first title under the expanded tournament format.

Cole Palmer was the star of the night, scoring twice and assisting the third goal, all within a dominant first-half display. He opened the scoring in the 22nd minute after capitalizing on a defensive error, then doubled Chelsea’s lead just eight minutes later with a precise finish. Before halftime, Palmer set up João Pedro, who chipped PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to seal the third.

Chelsea maintained control in the second half, with goalkeeper Robert Sánchez pulling off several key saves to preserve a clean sheet.

PSG’s frustrations boiled over late in the game when João Neves was shown a red card for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair.

The victory not only earns Chelsea their first Club World Cup crown in the 32-team format but also marks a tactical triumph for manager Enzo Maresca, who outclassed Luis Enrique’s side from the opening whistle.

President of FIFA and other dignitaries were present at the final, which further solidified Chelsea’s resurgence on the global stage. The Blues are expected to receive a reported £93 million in prize money for their win.

Chelsea’s dominant performance sends a strong signal ahead of the upcoming season, while PSG faces renewed scrutiny following a trophyless campaign and rising internal tensions.
