Chelsea secured a dominant 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain to win the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, capping a flawless performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The Blues, under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, outclassed the Champions League winners from the opening whistle, with Cole Palmer stealing the show.

Palmer opened the scoring early in the first half and added a second before the break. Just minutes later, he assisted João Pedro, who calmly finished to make it 3-0 before halftime. Chelsea’s relentless pressure and tactical discipline left PSG struggling to gain a foothold in the match.

PSG’s frustrations boiled over late in the game when João Neves was sent off after a VAR review confirmed he pulled Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella by the hair during an off-ball incident. The red card further compounded a dismal night for the French side. Emotions ran high even after the final whistle, with PSG manager Luis Enrique seen confronting João Pedro during the post-match celebrations.

The match drew a crowd of over 81,000 spectators, including notable dignitaries such as U.S. President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The event served as a high-profile showcase ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted jointly by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Palmer was named the tournament’s best player and awarded the Golden Ball, while Chelsea earned $40 million in prize money for their triumph. PSG received $30 million as runners-up.

The win marks Chelsea’s first Club World Cup title under the new 32-team format. With their dominant display, the Blues sent a strong message about their ambitions on the global stage.
