This wasn't just any win—it was a statement
Chelsea have officially etched their name into football history after a stunning 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup final, held on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
This wasn't just any win—it was a statement.
Chelsea’s young sensation Cole Palmer was unstoppable, delivering a breathtaking first-half performance. The England international bagged two goals (22′, 30′) and capped it off with an assist for Joao Pedro’s third just before halftime (43′). Palmer’s brilliance not only lit up the game but made him the first English player to score a brace in a Club World Cup final.
While Chelsea were flying high, PSG crumbled under pressure. Their frustrations boiled over when Joao Neves was shown a red card for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair, reducing the French giants to ten men late in the game as the drama didn’t stop there.
Post-match scenes turned chaotic as PSG head coach Luis Enrique reportedly slapped Joao Pedro during a heated confrontation, sparking a brawl between both sides. Security had to step in to separate players and staff as tempers flared on what should have been a night of celebration.
Chelsea’s midfield, anchored by Moisés Caicedo, kept PSG quiet throughout the game. At the back, Robert Sánchez stood tall, making crucial saves to preserve a clean sheet. It was a complete team performance from start to finish.
History Made and Legacy Sealed—The win marks Chelsea’s first title under the new 32-team Club World Cup format and brings home a massive £93 million in prize money. It also affirms their rise back to the top of global football under new leadership and a rejuvenated squad.
