Chelsea Defeats PSG 3-0 to Win Expanded Club World Cup

Chelsea clinched the FIFA Club World Cup title with a dominant 3-0 victory over European champions Paris Saint-Germain at MetLife Stadium. Cole Palmer was the standout player, scoring twice in the first half and assisting Joao Pedro for the third goal, showcasing precise finishing and playmaking that exposed PSG’s defensive weaknesses. Chelsea's tactical discipline under coach Enzo Maresca, including a high press and effective game plan, disrupted PSG’s rhythm, despite the French side's efforts and a late red card for Joao Neves. The final was played before a record crowd of 81,188, with U.S. President Donald Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino in attendance. Chelsea, who had finished fourth in the Premier League and won the UEFA Conference League, secured the world title for the second time and earned substantial prize money. Palmer, a 23-year-old who joined Chelsea from Manchester City two years ago, continued his impressive form with 18 goals this season, proving pivotal in Chelsea's global success.
