In a night to remember, Chelsea beat PSG 3-0 in the final of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, held at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. With more than 81,000 fans in attendance, the Blues delivered a statement performance against one of Europe’s most star-studded teams.
This was Chelsea’s third global title and perhaps their most impressive, as they dominated Paris Saint-Germain from start to finish with discipline, speed, and tactical brilliance.
Key Moments
The game kicked off at a high pace, and it didn’t take long for Chelsea to strike. Cole Palmer, who has been in outstanding form all season, scored the opener in the 22nd minute with a low, accurate shot from outside the box. Just eight minutes later, he doubled the lead after a quick team move left PSG’s defense exposed.
In the 43rd minute, João Pedro – one of Chelsea’s latest signings – added the third with a calm finish, securing his first goal for the club and sealing the match before halftime.
PSG looked lost, and their frustration showed when João Neves was sent off in the 86th minute for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair in an off-ball incident.
Cole Palmer celebrates goal vs PSGTactical Brilliance:
Coach Enzo Maresca deserves immense credit for his tactical plan. Chelsea’s pressing game, compact midfield structure, and fast wide transitions caught PSG off guard. Palmer, Gusto, and Pedro repeatedly tore through the French side’s left flank.
“We played like champions,” Maresca said post-match. “This team is growing and learning to win.”
