Chelsea Crowned World Champions After Dominant 3-0 Win Over PSG

Chelsea Football Club have officially been crowned world champions after a dazzling 3-0 triumph over Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The Premier League giants put on a clinical first-half display to stun the reigning UEFA Champions League winners and seal the club’s first-ever Club World Cup title.

Under the tactical guidance of head coach Enzo Maresca, Chelsea showcased their best football yet in the tournament. Star midfielder Cole Palmer led the charge, scoring twice and assisting a third in a breathtaking 45-minute blitz that left the French side chasing shadows.

Palmer’s First-Half Masterclass

Palmer came close early on, narrowly missing the target before making his mark with two composed finishes—both low into the bottom-left corner. The first came following an incisive run and cross by Malo Gusto, while the second was all Palmer, carving space on the edge of the area and striking past the keeper with finesse.

Moments later, Palmer turned playmaker. With Paris pushing up high, he broke free and calmly chipped the ball across the face of goal to set up Joao Pedro for Chelsea’s third—his third strike in just two starts during the competition.

Second-Half Control and Late Drama

Though PSG came out after the break hoping to mount a comeback, Chelsea’s backline stood resolute. Goalkeeper Robert Sánchez and the defense managed the tempo and neutralized threats from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. A red card for PSG’s João Neves in the dying minutes compounded their frustration, but the damage had already been done in the first half.

Match Summary: Chelsea vs PSG
