Chelsea produced a stunning first-half display to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 and win the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, becoming world champions for the first time in their history.
The Blues seized control early and never looked back, overwhelming the UEFA Champions League winners with ruthless efficiency in front of a packed stadium.
Cole Palmer was the undisputed star, scoring twice and assisting the third goal in a sensational individual performance that lit up the final.
Palmer opened the scoring in the 22nd minute after latching onto a cutback from Gusto and curling a brilliant left-footed finish past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
He doubled Chelsea’s lead just eight minutes later with a near-identical strike, showcasing his composure and technical brilliance from the edge of the box.
Just before half-time, Palmer turned provider, sliding a precise pass into the path of João Pedro, who chipped the ball delicately over the advancing Donnarumma to make it 3-0.
It was a masterclass in finishing and team play, and PSG, stunned and disorganised, were left with a mountain too steep to climb.
Despite holding a comfortable lead, Chelsea remained composed in the second half, resisting a flurry of PSG substitutions and attacking attempts.
Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez made several crucial saves, including a close-range stop to deny Neves before the break and later parrying efforts from Barcola and Dembele.
PSG’s night went from bad to worse in the final 10 minutes. Neves was shown a red card after a VAR review for pulling the hair of Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, reducing the French side to 10 men.
By then, the damage had already been done.
Enrique’s side, which had demolished Real Madrid 4-0 in the semifinals, could not replicate their earlier brilliance and were comprehensively outplayed by a disciplined and energetic Chelsea unit.
The win not only earns Chelsea the prestigious title but also sees them pocket over $125 million in prize money from what is being hailed as the first billion-dollar football competition.
As the final whistle blew, the Chelsea bench erupted, with manager Enzo Maresca celebrating his first major trophy with the club. For Palmer and Pedro, it capped off a breakout tournament — and for Chelsea fans worldwide, it was a night to remember.
