Chelsea FC won the FIFA Club World Cup, upsetting Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In a stunning display of dominance, Chelsea Football Club routed Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 on Sunday to claim the FIFA Club World Cup title at MetLife Stadium. The victory marks Chelsea’s second triumph in the tournament and their first in the newly expanded format, defying expectations against a heavily favored PSG side.
Chelsea’s attacking prowess was on full display, particularly in a decisive first half. Midfielder Cole Palmer emerged as the hero, netting two almost identical goals in the 22nd and 30th minutes, both coolly slotted into the bottom corner. Palmer then turned provider, delivering an exquisite assist to João Pedro in the 43rd minute, who skillfully chipped the ball over PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to extend Chelsea’s lead to three goals just before halftime.
PSG, who entered the final having swept aside European giants and maintained an impressive scoring record throughout the tournament, found themselves unable to break through Chelsea’s resolute defense in the second half. Their frustration was palpable, culminating in João Neves receiving a red card in the 85th minute for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair.
The win solidifies Chelsea’s place at the pinnacle of global club football and serves as a testament to their tactical execution under manager Enzo Maresca. The match, played before a crowd of over 81,000 spectators, including high-profile attendees, underscored the growing prominence of the revamped Club World Cup.
