In a dazzling display of grit, precision, and tactical brilliance, Chelsea FC stunned the football world by defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3โ0 to lift the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The final, held at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, was more than just a matchโit was a statement.
Palmerโs Magic, Pedroโs Finish
From the first whistle, Chelsea looked hungry. Cole Palmer, the breakout star of the tournament, opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a clinical finish after Malo Gustoโs cut-back. Just eight minutes later, Palmer doubled the lead with a near-identical strike, sending Chelsea fans into a frenzy.
Before halftime, Joรฃo Pedro added the third goal, chipping the ball over Gianluigi Donnarumma after a slick assist from Palmer. PSG, who had bulldozed past Real Madrid and Inter Milan earlier in the tournament, were left shell-shocked.
