PSG succumbs to Chelsea's magic, clinching the Club World Cup triumph - PSG is weakened by Chelsea, resulting in a Club World Cup victory for the latter.
Chelsea FC secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The match was marked by an exceptional first-half performance from Chelsea that left PSG stunned and the Blues fans elated.
The key moments of the match saw Cole Palmer, Chelsea's striker, shine as the standout player. In the 22nd minute, he capitalized on a mistake by PSG's Nuno Mendes to score the opening goal. His second goal, in the 30th minute, was a display of skill, as he evaded a defender with a dummy and placed the ball into the bottom-left corner with precision.
Palmer's creativity was also evident in the third goal, as he provided the perfect assist to Joao Pedro for a lob over the PSG goalkeeper. Pedro's goal marked his third in two starts at the tournament, showcasing his composure and finishing ability.
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea's coach, tactically prepared his team well, delivering one of their best performances. Chelsea played exhilarating attacking football, particularly in the first 45 minutes that essentially decided the game. PSG, the reigning UEFA Champions League winners, struggled to mount any significant response.
The match took a turn late in the game when Joao Neves, a player for PSG, received a straight red card for a foul on Marc Cucurella in the 83rd minute, further hampering any hopes of a comeback.
Chelsea's victory marked their first FIFA Club World Cup title, officially crowning them world champions and allowing them to wear the special FIFA Club World Cup winners badge on their kits until the next tournament in 2029. The win added a prestigious global trophy to Chelsea's cabinet, complementing their success in European competitions.

However, the match was marred by a post-match brawl between the goalkeepers for both teams, Gianluigi Donnarumma for PSG and an unspecified goalkeeper for Chelsea.
