Chelsea Dominate PSG 3-0 to Clinch Club World Cup Title for the Second Time
Chelsea have been crowned 2025 FIFA Club World Cup champions after a commanding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday night’s final at the MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.
The London club, under the guidance of head coach Enzo Maresca, delivered a sensational performance to secure their second Club World Cup title—previously won in 2021—and sent a strong message ahead of the 2025/26 football season.
Cole Palmer was the star of the night, netting a brilliant first-half brace in the span of eight minutes before providing an assist for Joao Pedro to score Chelsea’s third. Palmer’s contribution sealed his place as the undisputed Man of the Match, driving Chelsea to one of their most dominant international displays in recent memory.
In contrast, PSG—widely tipped as favorites and reigning UEFA Champions League winners—struggled to find rhythm. The French giants looked off the pace throughout and were dealt a further blow when Joao Neves was sent off late in the second half.
While Vitinha, Neves, and Fabian Ruiz had been key figures in PSG’s success this year, they were largely neutralized by Chelsea’s high-intensity midfield and clinical finishing.
The absence of Willian Pacho due to suspension left a significant void in PSG’s defense, which the Blues exploited with ruthless efficiency. Chelsea’s organized press and fluid attack highlighted their growing maturity and strength as a team on the rise.
The win also brings financial rewards, with Chelsea reportedly earning £90 million for winning the tournament—providing a major boost to their budget and morale heading into a promising new campaign.
With this emphatic win over the best team in Europe, Chelsea have reestablished themselves as a global football powerhouse—and their fans will be brimming with confidence as the countdown to the 2025/26 season begins.
