Yesterday, July 13, 2025, Chelsea FC delivered a dominant performance to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 3–0 in the final of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, securing their second world title in spectacular fashion.
The match, held at the iconic MetLife Stadium in the United States, saw Cole Palmer emerge as the hero of the night, scoring twice and assisting João Pedro’s goal to seal a comprehensive win.
From the first whistle, Chelsea looked sharper, more organized, and hungrier for glory. Palmer opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a composed finish, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from PSG.
His second came just after the break—a calm strike from the edge of the box that beat Gianluigi Donnarumma at full stretch. The third goal, a team effort finished off by João Pedro, put the result beyond doubt and sent the traveling Chelsea supporters into wild celebration.
The victory marks Chelsea’s second Club World Cup title, following their 2022 triumph against Palmeiras, and reaffirms their status as one of world football’s elite.
Manager Enzo Maresca, who took over the reins at Stamford Bridge just a year ago, praised the young squad’s discipline and tactical intelligence.
“This is a proud moment for everyone at the club. We faced the best, and we rose above it,” Maresca said in his post-match interview.
As a result of the win, Chelsea will now don the prestigious gold FIFA World Champions badge on their shirts for the next four years, a symbol of global supremacy.
They also walk away with a hefty financial prize and renewed confidence heading into the upcoming Premier League and European campaigns.
The match was attended by a full-capacity crowd, including global football figures and political dignitaries, among them FIFA President Gianni Infantino and former U.S. President Donald Trump, whose presence at the trophy ceremony added a political twist to an otherwise sporting spectacle.
