Chelsea Wins Club World Cup in New Jersey Final

Chelsea stunned the football world with a commanding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the expanded Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium, delivering a major trophy to a club long criticized for underachieving despite heavy investment. Cole Palmer was the standout player, scoring twice and assisting a third goal, earning praise for his performance and fiery post-match interview. The final was marked by a surreal trophy ceremony where U.S. President Donald Trump, who attended the match, lingered on the podium with Chelsea players, much to the amusement and confusion of players and officials. Chelsea's win denied PSG a historic quadruple, having already secured Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Champions League titles earlier in the season. The victory also provided vindication for Chelsea's American owner, who had faced criticism for spending without silverware. Social media banter followed the match, including a playful exchange between Chelsea and Brazilian club Flamengo, who had earlier defeated Chelsea in the group stage.
