With two goals from Cole Palmer and one from João Pedro, the London team claimed victory in this first edition of the Club World Cup held in the United States.
Chelsea were superior from start to finish. They dominated the tempo and possession of the ball and created several chances, three of which found their way inside the goalposts.
At the imposing MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Chelsea were crowned champions of the 2025 Club World Cup after a resounding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain. Enzo Maresca's team was a precise and lethal machine that completely nullified the French side in a final that will go down in history as the first edition of the tournament with 32 teams.
With an impeccable tactical approach, the Londoners imposed their influence from the first minute. Man-marking, high pressing, and devastating counterattacks were the keys to disabling a PSG that never managed to play its usual game. Chelsea's intensity erased the last UEFA Champions League winners from the field, leaving them looking blurred and without a response.
The goals all came in the first half. Cole Palmer, the undisputed star of the final, opened the scoring with a low shot against Gianluigi Donnarumma's right post. Minutes later, he repeated the formula to score a brace and put the title on track. The third came from João Pedro, who finished with an exquisite chip shot after being one-on-one with the Italian goalkeeper.
In the second half, the English side managed their lead without any problems. PSG failed to find a way back into the match and ended up with one less player due to the unusual expulsion of João Neves, who was penalized for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair.
The final whistle unleashed euphoria in Chelsea and tension in the opposition. There was shoving and arguing between players from both teams, but the scene was quickly overshadowed by the celebrations of the new champion.
Chelsea not only lifted the trophy, but also made a statement in the debut of the revamped Club World Cup format, confirming the growth of a young, ambitious squad that is increasingly prominent on the international stage.
Thus, Chelsea is the first champion of this new edition of the Club World Cup. It's worth noting that in previous editions of this competition, the London club only managed to win once, in 2021, after defeating Palmeiras in the final.
