In a dominant performance, Chelsea triumphed over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 3-0 in the inaugural Club World Cup final held at MetLife Stadium on July 13, 2025. Chelsea's Cole Palmer was the standout player, opening the scoring in the 8th minute with a goal set up by Malo Gusto, and added a second in the 30th minute with a precise shot into the bottom corner. Joao Pedro sealed the victory just before halftime, taking advantage of a defensive error by PSG.
Despite facing a significant deficit, PSG, managed by Luis Enrique, attempted to mount a comeback in the second half but struggled against a resolute Chelsea defense. Chelsea's goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, played a crucial role in the match, making several key saves to deny attempts from PSG's Joao Neves and Ousmane Dembélé. The match turned contentious toward the end when Joao Neves received a red card in the 86th minute for pulling an opponent's hair, further illustrating PSG's frustrations during the match.
This defeat marked a disappointing end for PSG, who has had a successful 2024-25 season overall, as they faced challenges in securing a major title. Chelsea, on the other hand, celebrated a historic victory with their first Club World Cup title, highlighting their continued growth in international football.
