Chelsea claimed their second FIFA Club World Cup title with a stunning 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Cole Palmer led the way, scoring two goals in quick succession midway through the first half. João Pedro added a third before halftime, sealing a dominant first-half performance.
Idman.biz, citing CNN, reports that despite PSG entering the final as favorites, Chelsea controlled the match, even after the break. PSG’s João Neves was sent off late for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair, capping a frustrating night for the French side.
The win completes a strong season for Chelsea under new manager Enzo Maresca, who praised his squad’s execution. The Blues also secured a Champions League berth and won the UEFA Conference League.
Palmer, who finished the season with 18 goals, called it a “great feeling” and hailed Maresca’s tactical approach.
