Chelsea dominated Paris Saint-Germain in today’s revived FIFA Club World Cup final, securing a 3–0 victory at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to claim the title. All the scoring came in a stunning first-half display under manager Enzo Maresca, who set the tone early with crisp, high-pressing football.
Cole Palmer was the star of the match, scoring two near-identical goals into the bottom corner and becoming the first Englishman ever to net a brace in a Club World Cup final. He later set up João Pedro, who finished coolly to complete the scoring before halftime. In the second half, PSG’s João Neves was sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair, and despite late pressure, PSG could not respond.
Chelsea’s keeper Robert Sánchez produced several outstanding saves to maintain the clean sheet, while midfielder Moisés Caicedo provided a solid backbone in midfield. With this emphatic victory, Chelsea lifts the Club World Cup for the second time, this time against a star-studded PSG side, capping a sensational turnaround for the club.
