EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Chelsea delivered a dominant performance to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3–0 and win the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, showcasing tactical brilliance, defensive discipline, and attacking precision.
Cole Palmer starred with two goals and an assist in a first-half masterclass.
He scored in the 22nd and 30th minutes before setting up João Pedro’s chipped finish in the 43rd.
Chelsea were in control from start to finish, with PSG unable to register a meaningful response.
Palmer was named Player of the Match, his composure and creativity dismantling PSG’s backline.
João Neves was later sent off for a rash foul on Marc Cucurella, capping PSG’s frustrating night.
Chelsea’s structure under manager Enzo Maresca was key.
They pressed with purpose, remained compact in defense, and transitioned swiftly.
PSG held more possession but lacked penetration.
The victory earned Chelsea approximately $116 million (about KSh17.9 billion) in prize money, including performance and participation payouts.
This is Chelsea’s second Club World Cup title, and their latest triumph signals their resurgence on the global stage with a young, hungry squad built for the future.
Ends.
