Chelsea capped off a remarkable season in style with a dominant 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain to win the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in New Jersey.
From the first whistle, Chelsea looked sharp and purposeful. Cole Palmer was the star of the show, lighting up MetLife Stadium with a sensational first-half display. He pounced on a defensive error to open the scoring in the 22nd minute, then added a brilliant second just moments later after a clever pass from Levi Colwill. Palmer wasn’t done yet—he set up João Pedro for a superb chipped finish before halftime, making it 3–0 and leaving PSG shell-shocked.
The French side never recovered. Chelsea’s defence was rock-solid, shutting down every attempt PSG made to fight back. Tensions boiled over late in the second half when PSG captain João Neves was sent off, capping a frustrating night for the Parisians.
With this win, Chelsea claimed their second Club World Cup title—and their first under the expanded 32-team format—adding to their UEFA Conference League triumph earlier in the season. It was a statement performance and a sign of a team on the rise once again.
